The New New Thing

The New New Thing

"The New New Thing : A Silicon Valley Story" is a book by Michael M. Lewis released in 1999 about the founder of several Silicon Valley companies, James H. Clark, and the entrepreneurial culture that dominated the area during the height of the Internet boom.

Written with the same comedic touch as Liars Poker, The New New thing Charts the career of Jim Clark, founder of Silicon Graphics and Netscape who later created Healtheon, an attempt to bring the US medical system to the web.

Great anecdotes about Clark's obsession with building the worlds largest highly computerized Yacht, and the sea trial that followed.
