"Profiles a lot of Web 1.0 and 2.0 companies and their rise to mainstream media attention. Livingston does a decent job of digging up stories from the early days of these companies lives and there are trends that are consistent through all the stories: the initial idea was certainly almost always modified before it became a success, they worked really effing hard, and timing is a big deal. Some of these companies are new to me so I couldnt connect the end products with the humble beginnings, but all aspiring hackers looking to build cool web products need to read this book."
"What makes this so enjoyable is that there are 30 very different stories that are told. I would get to the end of one chapter, and be anxiously anticipating the next.
There is a tech bent to the book (some chapters are quite technical and will bore the non-tech crowd), but if you are interested in what happens at a startup, this is a great place to begin.
Writing this review makes me want to pickup the book again - I highly recommend it."
"A bunch of great interviews with startup founders (old and new-school) about their early days, including lots of people we know. Fun stuff, and many stories I hadn't heard before."
