Riko Radojcic
Novelist

What I found fascinating about FA Confidential was how it blended the intrigue of a political thriller with the deeply technical world of semiconductors. There’s shadowy funding, intellectual property theft, and high-stakes tension, all wrapped up in the polished world of tech innovation. It reads like a spy novel, but with engineers instead of agents—and it works brilliantly. Can’t wait for what Radojcic writes next.

I’ve worked in early-stage startups, and the tension Radojcic captures—between innovation and influence, pressure and principle—is uncomfortably real. “Start Up” reveals the hidden battles that happen behind the scenes in the tech world. It’s more than fiction—it’s a warning. If you’ve ever chased funding, launched a prototype, or been pushed to deliver under impossible timelines, this book will hit home.

What I loved about FA Confidential was how it wove moral complexity into a fast-paced tech thriller. It’s a rare work of fiction that forces the reader to think about the responsibilities of engineers, the power of data, and the consequences of cutting corners in innovation. This book should be required reading in every engineering ethics course. It’s smart, timely, and deeply thought-provoking.

As someone who’s spent over 20 years in semiconductor failure analysis, FA Confidential is a breath of fresh air. Radojcic doesn’t just tell a great story—he captures the intricate world of chip design and diagnostics with uncanny accuracy. The characters are smart, the technical details are spot-on, and the suspense kept me flipping pages. A must-read for anyone in the field or anyone curious about what really goes on behind the lab doors.
