Interesting read on the history of Internet boom
I like the books of Michael Lewis and his style. This one is on history of Internet Boom and the period in the Valley from mid-eighties to end of 90-ties.

I have enjoyed all the Michael Lewis books I have read
I have enjoyed all the Michael Lewis books I have read, enjoying real life events being told in a very readable way. This time I learned about Jim Clark, founder of a number of Silicon Valley companies, making a fortune for himself and for many many employees and investors. As Jim is described having new ideas, convincing others that they will be executable and will make money there is a background story. He has commissioned the building of a boat with the tallest, at that time, mast, to be managed/sailed via on board computers. A good read and Jim an interesting man.

The elements of genius
I thoroughly enjoyed and was enlightened by this biography of Jim Clark. Michael Lewis captured the eccentricity that is an integral part of what makes a genius. Often written off as querky and bizzare, Jim Clark is the essence of and founder of the silicon valley spirit that propelled technology into the 21st century.
