Description
Description
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. Lewis also found much more, and the result--the best-selling book The New New Thing--is an ingeniously conceived history of the Internet revolution.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
The most significant business story since the days of Henry Ford. . . . Lewis achieves a novelistic elegance.-- "Boston Globe"
Remarkable. . . . Clark proves to be a character as enthralling as any in American fiction or non-fiction. . . . [A] great story . . . with prose that ranges from the beautiful to the witty to the breathtaking.--Fred Moody "Wall Street Journal"
A splendid, entirely satisfying book, intelligent and fun and revealing and troubling in the correct proportions, resolutely skeptical but not at all cynical.--Kurt Andersen "New York Times Book Review"
