Judy just has to utter her favorite saying, "I want -- and stuff like that," and her mother makes sure she gets whatever her little heart desires.

Exhausted by Judy’s infinite racing for luxury "stuff like that," her father, Tom, dies of a heart attack.

After graduating from high school, Judy informs her mom, Kristina, of her plans to go on a cruise to some exotic island to chill out. However, a dream about her father changes Judy’s mind, and forever alters the course of her life.

She enters a whole new world-one of programming and high technologies; the world of crazy ideas and crazy money; and through Judy’s eyes we reveal an enormous spectrum of interesting, bright people who live in this world, and make it the exciting place it is.

Dot-Com and Stuff Like That is an unbelievably sharp-witted, hilarious story about a young girl’s (Judy) breathtaking upward flight from sales associate at a department store, to VP of a successful Dot-Com company.

While on her fantastic journey, she meets thoughtful friends, envious enemies, and treacherous competitors; she encounters love and intrigue, fraud and loyalty, ups and downs - all seemingly routine occurrences in the unique and historical social phenomenon known as Dot-Com.

It is always surprising - there is one twist after another, and the eventual outcome is one the reader would never have expected.

Dot-Com and Stuff Like That focuses primarily on the dreams and aspirations of its central characters, who sometimes find themselves in very bizarre situations...

While set in the Dot-Com world, this arena merely acts as a backdrop against which the story unfolds; a story about the choices we make, and how our ultimate success or failure is a direct result of our actions, and the way we treat those we encounter on each rung of the ladder of life.

This book is not overwhelmed with technical details, and undoubtedly will be of interest to a broad category of readers.

Seriously funny book
This book made me laugh points out the ridiculous actions of human beings in a funny way. The author takes people’s actions, especially Bill, shows you the humor, and you just sit back and chuckle. Iceman’s style of writing reminds me of the "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" movie. The only exception is that instead of portraying the methods of professional con artists, he shows the rottenness of a corporate executive (Bill) in a witty and hilarious way.
Other parts of the story are about true love and honesty in business.

how??
okay, half these reviews are anonymous, and so i am suspecting foul play- either that or the writer has enough sycophants to praise this trash.
that’s probably how it got published as well, because it’s terrible! I’ll avoid wasting any more of my time or breath on this- this thing. :(

Don’t waste your money
This book is awful. The content is lack luster and boring from beginning to end. It covers the dot.com spectrum from A to B.

Sweet book
I love books that manage to be poignant without being heartbreaking, and uplifting without being sappy or predictable. So many authors rely on tragedy to move their readers, but few know how to do this without sending us straight to the psychiatric doctor.
This was the best book I have read in awhile and just passed it on to my husband, who also loves it! "Dot-com and stuff " is a great book- extremely uplifting and empowering!
What makes this book so great is how realistic the characters are. Mister Iceman does a beautiful job of showing the various and complex sides of each characters personality so the reader really feels like she or he has met these characters by the end. All of the characters actions throughout the book are realistic, and the dialogue is unbelievable.
Sweet.....

Dot-comedy --and very, very funny
After one page of this novel I was completely hooked. The story is sort of a farce mixed with fable, about a spoiled California princess, her evil Nemesis Nicky, her boss, a good guy in the frothy world of the dot-com startups in the 90’s, and a really bad dude Bill, so bad he is cartoon-funny, like one of the Stooges.

The careers of Prez "Bill", who slickly cons his clients, the career of Michael, who bails out the company when Bill gets canned, are drawn with realism, but lightly so. I worked in some small startup firms, and there is a real element of truth in all this, even when Iceman is at his most outrageous.

The funniest sections are about Bill’s escapades, each one more unbelievable than the next. Bill’s cons are bound to backfire, and it’s wonderful how Iceman rachets them up a notch each time, so that at the end, you believe it’s a pickle Bill really could have gotten himself into.

If you want some light summer reading, and if you are somewhat interested in start-up corporate life in California, this will tickle your funnybone. I thought it was a hoot--well done, Aaron Iceman, you’re a born storyteller.
