This is the second book that Eggers has written, and it shares one conspicuous similarity with its predecessor: they both deal with young men who have effortlessly acquired "too much" money to know what to do with. This allows them to act out whatever crazy thoughts come to their heads, and never have to face the ugly realities of life that the other 99% of humanity has to struggle with daily. In addition, the book doesn't really have much of a plot; calling it a travelogue written in an unusual style wouldn't be too far from the truth.
