‘The Unicorn Project’ er en opfølgning til den mest solgte titel Phoenix-projektet, som endnu engang kaster et blik på Parts Unlimited, men denne gang set ud fra en softwareudvikling. Bogen følger Maxine, en højtstående hovedudvikler og arkitekt, da hun er eksileret til Phoenix-projektet, som hævn mod venner og kolleger for at have bidraget til en løn-nedbrud. Maxine forsøger at holde hovedet koldt i dét der føles som et hjerteløs og uretfærdigt Bureaukrati, og at arbejde inden for et system, hvor ingen kan få gjort noget færdigt, uden endeløse udvalg, papirarbejde og godkendelser. En dag bliver hun kontaktet af en masse misfits, som fortæller at de vil vælte den eksisterende orden, til at befri udviklere, at bringe glæde tilbage til teknologiområdet og for at gøre muligt for virksomheden at vinde i en tid med digital forstyrrelse. Til Maxines store overraskelse bliver hun trukket ind i denne bevægelse og befinder sig til sidst som en af ​​lederne for oprøret, som sætter hende i krydset for nogle kendte og meget farlige fjender. Age of Software er kommet til syne, og en anden begivenhed med masseudryddelse nærmer sig. ‘The Unicorn Project’ handler i store træk om rebelle udviklere og forretningsførere, der arbejder sammen for at kæmpe mod tiden for at innovere, overleve og trives i en tid med hidtil uset usikkerhed ... og muligheder. Bogen giver en exceptionelt nyttig indsigt i, hvordan man forbedrer sin teknologivirksomhed på bedst mulig vis.
