Want to learn in excruciating detail how a billionaire built and sailed his yacht for 200 pages? If not look somewhere else.

It's one of the most interesting business (?) books I've ever read. Had trouble putting it down. Quite a study of the mind of an innovator. Filled with many thought-provoking ways of seeing opportunities.

This remains the definitive book on Silicon Valley in the dot com era. It tells the improbable story of how a wrong side of the tracks high school dropout from Sweetwater, TX was overwhelmingly responsible for shaping the modern technology economy. The New New Thing is up there with Moneyball and The Big Short as an entertaining, deeply insightful book focused on people most of us have never heard of who were incredibly important.
