Finished reading The New New Thing by Michael Lewis
The New New Thing is a story of Jim Clark. It’s not a retold biography, it’s an insight into Jim Clark’s mind and modus operandi. The reader goes through such great Silicon Valley companies as Silicon Graphics, Netscape Communications, Healtheon and MyCFO. The founder of all of the above companies is portrayed as a simple man, who’sall about changing the world, and leaving execution to the others. A large portion of the book is dedicated to Clark’s boat, Hyperion. The book is pretty old and used to be quite popular, so it’s no wonder you can get it used on Amazon for a penny (plus $3.49 shipping). Pretty interesting story, the boat passages seemed boring sometimes.
