I think you probably hit on the real purpose of the book at VCland is all about "personal brands". Hillbilly who pulled himself up by his bootstraps and became a conservative intellectual is a pretty good one if it's Peter Thiel and the wingnuts that cluster around him you want to impress.Also he moved to Berkeley and got a job with Peter Thiel so… okay. Whatever.
