Okay, I'm in:
The Tech-Whirling Dervish
A young tech writer-priest (could be priestess, if we want to go along the
Xena line) leaves the tech writing monastery high in the hills above Silicon
Valley, where he was abandoned as a child. His goal: To discover the fate of
the SME uncle who abandoned him and, if he's still alive, kick his a**.
Mingling among the people of the valley, he encounters prejudice at the
hands of the engineer ruling class. Ultimately, he makes his way to TW-town,
an enclave where secular TWs live and raise families. He learns that his
uncle is actually a highly honored SME who has been imprisoned by a vicious
engineer warlord, thus depriving the TWs of the information they need to
write clear, comprehensive documentation and regain their previously high
place in society.
Several trials and tribulations later, he is tearfully reunited with his
uncle amid the ruins of the engineer warlord's dot com. Then he kicks his
a**.
