Buku yang jujur, penuh warna, dan komprehensif yang mengungkap rahasia Silicon Valley dari asal usul Apple dan Atari hingga bentrokan Google dan Facebook saat ini, serta semua perusahaan rintisan dan gangguan yang terjadi sampai saat ini. Merangkum lebih dari dua ratus wawancara mendalam, Valley of Genius membawa pembaca dari awal komputer dan internet, melalui masa kejayaan web, hingga saat realitas teknologi kita saat ini. Menjawab semua pertanyaan tentang pengkhianatan, kesuksesan dalam satu malam, dan eksploitasi, Silicon Valley yang belum pernah diceritakan sebelumnya. Rarely has one economy asserted itself as swiftly and as aggressively as the entity we now know as Silicon Valley. Built with a seemingly permanent culture of reinvention, Silicon Valley does not fight to change it, embraces it, and now powers the American economy and global innovation. Drawing on over two hundred in-depth interviews, Valley of Genius takes readers from the dawn of the personal computer and the internet, through the heyday of the web, up to the very moment when our current technological reality was invented. It interweaves accounts of invention and betrayal, overnight success, and underground exploits, to tell the story of Silicon Valley as it has never been told before. Read it to discover the stories that Valley insiders tell each other: the tall tales that are all, improbably, true.
