A daringly honest depiction of life behind the scenes at a technology company, painting the reality of a ruthless professional world and dealing in hard facts rather than hackneyed clichés. Alongside general information on solar technology and its desired efficiency, exceptional ideas for solar-powered products such as robot-controlled green houses and gesture-operated vehicles are woven seamlessly into the plot.
Alex leads a thoroughly contented life. In Sandro she has found the right man, and the new job in the solar energy industry seems tailor-made for her.
Driven and experienced, she takes on the management position: an exciting game that she plays to win. It is not the paycheck that drives her, but the recognition, the affirmation; the private smile that says: "Yes, I can".
In no time, Alex familiarizes herself with the technology and establishes a complex network of partners. Developing long-term strategies and innovational product ideas, like solar-powered and robot-controlled greenhouses or autonomous vehicles, is just as inspiring for her as implementing them practically.
In addition, business trips to globally operating clients offer Alex an insight into different cultures, taking her to fascinating cities along the way. The job is like a dream come true, and serves as the perfect complement to her private life.
Until her world is turned upside down.
Until the rules change and the world turns ruthless.
