Summary
Adam Nicholas abandoned classical music as a way of life in favor of a "real" job in computers, but the early-eighties recession in Silicon Valley interfered with his plans. Before he can lead the life he wants, there are two other experiences he must first live, two other directions he must choose, directions for which his new diploma leaves him completely unprepared.
