"A close-up on dot.com bubble from a very unique perspective. I have learned A LOT about how companies develop or used to develop in Silicon Valley, and how collaboration and belief lead to creation of multi-billion dollar companies from scratch.
In short, the book is centered around the personal character of an innovator, Jim Clark. It is about the spirit of team-work, the status of venture capitalists, risk takers and future believers in the cycle of innovation. Also, I have learned about the relationship between the players of the game, engineers, managers, leaders of innovation, media and public shareholders.
I recommend this book to anyone with interests in knowing about the period of transition to internet and the opportunities it has provided."
