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 change; it embraces it, and now powers the American economy and global innovation. So how did this omnipotent and ever-morphing place come to be? The best way to answer that question is to ask those who were there at the creation. This is Silicon Valley's autobiography: the story of the making of an empire--as told by the makers who made it. 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 history of Silicon Valley like 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."--Jacket. 650 0 $a Computer industry $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 650 0 $a Businesspeople $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $v Interviews. 650 0 $a High technology industries $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 650 0 $a Technological innovations $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 651 0 $a Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County, Calif.) $x Economic conditions. 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Oral histories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021240.0 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20201212015340.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103015149.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014541.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529014752.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110074718.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190604033240.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180719013550.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=071BDD5C8B1A11E88D2A0A1E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
