Paul Freiberger, Michael Swaine: Fire in the Valley (1999, McGraw-Hill Companies) 4 stars

Review of 'Fire in the Valley' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A fascinating look into the early (and not so early) days of the microcomputer. Very interesting stories of the very beginnings of microcomputers, leading up to the usual Apple / Jobs soap opera stories. This 2nd edition goes up to about 1999, and includes the beginning and end of Netscape. Not enough on where the IBM PC came from, and not enough about the formative value of computer games, but still a worthwhile read.
