Description

A lively, behind-the-scenes history of Silicon Valley and the personal-computer revolution, this book traces how visionaries, entrepreneurs, engineers, and opportunists transformed obscure technologies into a global industry. It explores the rivalries, inventions, business gambles, and personalities that shaped the rise of companies such as Apple, IBM, and Microsoft, while revealing the chaotic culture of innovation behind their success. Witty, irreverent, and rich with industry insight, it offers both a portrait of technological change and a candid examination of ambition, competition, and the accidental nature of empire-building.
