| Summary |
"In the weird glow of the dying millennium, Michael Lewis set out on a safari through Silicon Valley to find the world's most important technology entrepreneur. He found this in Jim Clark, a man whose achievements include the founding of three separate billion-dollar companies. He also found much more, and the result-the New York Times best-selling book The New New Thing- is an ingeniously conceived history of the Internet revolution."--Back cover. |
