Featured Book Review
The New New Thing shows
how the pursuit of power at its highest levels can lead to the very edges
of the surreal, as when Clark tries to fill out an investment profile for
a Swiss bank, where he intends to deposit less than .05 percent of his
financial assets. When asked to assess his attitude toward financial risk,
Clark searches in vain for the category of "people who sought to turn
ten million dollars into one billion in a few months" and finally
tells the banker, "I think this is for a different ... person."
There have been a lot of profiles of Silicon Valley companies and
the way they've revamped the economy in the 1990s--The New New Thing
is one of the first books fully to depict the sort of man that has made
such companies possible. --Ron Hogan
