Summary

Jude Randolph works for a biotech company owned by one of the richest men in the world, Dagin Taliaferro. Jude’s just a lowly peon in the financial department until the day he ends up in a meeting with the company higher-ups, including the big man himself. Before Jude knows what’s happening, he’s been promoted to be Dagin’s personal assistant. The position comes with a great salary increase–but there’s also a corresponding price to pay. Dagin is a man used to getting what he wants, and it’s now Jude’s job to meet every whim and demand of the eccentric tech tycoon. Which includes a top-secret project that Dagin promises will revolutionize humanity. Set in the not-so-distant future, SILICON KINGS explores the limits of technology, capitalism, masculinity, and other American ideals through the story of the complex and ever-shifting relationship between two men in Silicon Valley.
