Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition, and …
One of the most fabulous books on the modern history of computers
The last 30-40 years have been amazing. 30-year-olds have created empires that run the world today. These include Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Bob Noyce and many others who have got lost somewhere. This is a book about how the companies like Lotus, VisiCorp and others ruled the world once upon a time, and then died suddenly. It is a fabulous work and very well narrated with LOTS of lessons.
