The New, New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story

Lewis sets out on a safari through Silicon Valley to find the world's most important technology entrepreneur. All roads lead to one man, Jim Clark, who is about to launch his third billion-dollar company: first Silicone Graphics, then Netscape, and now Healtheon, another completely novel project. Despite all these achievements, Clark thinks of himself primarily as the creator of "Hyperion", which happens to be the world's most extraordinary yacht. A machine more complex than a 747, it is claimed that the boat can be sailed from the owner's desk in San Francisco and that the code contains the seeds of the next billion-dollar coup.
