"For decades, those swells traversed the Pacific and smashed to rolling white breakers south of San Francisco. India’s best and brightest swept inland, helped turn a valley full of orchards to Silicon. And Silicon turned to gold, as baby-faced kings with Coke-bottle glasses made millions overnight."

Could someone please summarize the factual content of the article? The title makes me interested, but I don't have the patience to wade through the novelist-wannabee writing.

I looked at the HN comments page expecting to see the usual: a bunch of sycophantic comments to the effect of "America is evil! Her immigration policies are backward!!" I wasn't disappointed.

But I'm glad somebody else noticed the pretentious, creative writing 101 nature of the writing. This author is someone who has yet to learn the value of simple, effective language.

Now where's that copy of Strunk and White....
