Lewis is my all-time favorite business observer. His first book centered on the wild adventures of Wall Street during the junk-bond-financed takeover days in the late 1980s. His new book describes the socioeconomic society that is Silicon Valley, Wall Street's new dominatrix, in a lighthearted but informative way. It tells the story of James Clark, the peripatetic founder of Silicon Graphics, Netscape and now Healtheon, and the ups and downs of these companies. For me, a non-technophobe, it reads like a fast-moving novel while providing useful investment insights.

Brand new and terrific! A great insider look on Silicon Valley: its culture, the buzz and one person, Jim Clark. Highly recommended to get a sense for how the information society changes business, investing and society.
