<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Eighteen-year-old twins Adam and Amelia Dory have bounced around foster homes for as long as they can remember. But their lives change dramatically when they enter Stanford University. They are suddenly introduced to the dazzling world of Silicon Valley, where any person with a good enough idea can skyrocket to money, power, and fame. First in a new series.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>In a world where anyone can rise to the top, the only rule is... watch your back, in Sadie Hayes' <i>The Social Code.</i> <p/></b>Eighteen-year-old twins Adam and Amelia Dory learned the hard way to rely only on each other, growing up in a small town where they understood the meaning of coming from nothing. But everything changes when both are offered scholarships to Stanford University - and catapulted into the dazzling world of Silicon Valley, where anyone with a good enough idea can skyrocket to fame and fortune in the blink of an eye... <p/>Amelia is almost as pretty as she is smart - almost. A shy girl and genius, she is happiest alone in the computer lab, but her brother has other plans for her talents: A new company that will be the next Silicon Valley hit, and will thrust Amelia into the spotlight whether she likes it or not. Where Amelia's the brains, Adam's the ambition - he sees the privileged lifestyle of the Silicon Valley kids and wants a piece of what they have. He especially wants a piece of Lisa Bristol, the stunning daughter of one of the Valley's biggest tycoons. <p/>As Adam and Amelia begin to hatch their new company, they find themselves going from nothing to the verge of everything seemingly overnight. But no amount of prestige can prepare them for the envy, backstabbing and cool calculation of their new powerful peers. <p/><b>Welcome to Silicon Valley, where fortune, success - and betrayal - are only a breath away...</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>Social Code </i>is a non-stop thrill ride through the dark side of Silicon Valley, where brilliant young computer geeks seek fortune, fame, and love....
