    An occasionally-goofy, oft-bumbling VC investor inadvertently uncovers a plot to take-over the world with a weapon of mass persuasion. Begrudgingly, Ralph Gibsen determines he (and an equally-reticent team of frenemies) might be the only ones who can thwart this dastardly, worldwide plan.

    In an ever-fluid, youth-oriented, cut-throat business environment, where rule breaking and spectacular failures are equally celebrated, Ralph is an older, chubby, and travel-weary player in a world of…

    An occasionally-goofy, oft-bumbling VC investor inadvertently uncovers a plot to take-over the world with a weapon of mass persuasion. Begrudgingly, Ralph Gibsen determines he (and an equally-reticent team of frenemies) might be the only ones who can thwart this dastardly, worldwide plan.

    In an ever-fluid, youth-oriented, cut-throat business environment, where rule breaking and spectacular failures are equally celebrated, Ralph is an older, chubby, and travel-weary player in a world of practiced polish and manufactured poise.

    Is Ralph’s lucky streak a blessing of fortune, or the work of nefarious forces?

    The Knucklehead of Silicon Valley novel is set to be published in November 2019 and will be available at your favorite bookstore and online.

    : When units of serialized input are analyzed by an engine or algorithm that provides a plurality of entry suggestions for competing or replacing a unit of the serialized input, one or more haptic effects can be identified and provided in conjunction with display, selection, or use of one or more of the entry suggestions to aid in the use of the engine or algorithm. The haptic effects can represent a confidence level with respect to one or more of the entry suggestions or may otherwise indicate the relative success of the engine/algorithm. For example, the serialized input may comprise characters input to a mobile or other device. The engine or algorithm may suggest words or phrases with varying degrees of confidence, with the confidence with respect to some or all of the suggestions communicated by use of haptic effects. Additional embodiments include dynamic text input interfaces, haptically-enhanced serial presentation of content, and interfaces that provide haptic effects at a first device based on remote text entry, display, reading, or other activity at a different device.
