Lewis maps the history of computing from 1990 to 2000, a tale of greed and emotion in the fastest growing, mainline industry of the world. In this compilation of columns from Computer, IEEE Internet Computing, and Scientific American, Lewis tries to predict and explain the chaos of Silicon Valley.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book reports the author's personal history through the early 1990's to the end of the decade. These stories often try to predict or explain the chaos of Silicon Valley. Lewis analyzes the high-technology industry and its constant change amid turmoil and upheaval. He also examines the art of software development and deals with innovation and the emergence of a techno-society. The book does not promise any answers, but rather concludes this short journey into the recent past with a number of provoking ideas about the future of hi-tech.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PART 1: The Valley of the Kings: Inside the Computer Industry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Reversals of Fortune (EIC Message, Computer, August 1994).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: The Tombs of Tech (EIC Message, Computer, November 1994).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Operating System Roulette (Binary Critic, Computer, February 1995).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Silly Valley (Binary Critic, Computer, June 1995).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: A Monopoly Is Born (Binary Critic, Computer, August 1995).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: Ellison's Folly (Binary Critic, Computer, February 1996).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: How Hits Happen (Binary Critic, Computer, July 1997).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: The Techno Treadmill (Wired Wired World, IEEE Internet Computing, September--October 1997).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9: The Rise of Strategy (Binary Critic, Computer, September 1997).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10: The End of the Dream (Binary Critic, Computer, January 1998)\u003cbr\u003e (Cyber View, Scientific American, February 1998)\u003cbr\u003e (In the News, IEEE Software, January--February 1998).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PART 2: The Rise of the Internet.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11: The Latest Dance Craze: Browsing (EIC Message, Computer, September 1994)\u003cbr\u003e (Binary Critic, Computer, April 1995).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12: Rumble in Telecommunications (Binary Critic, Computer, May 1995).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 13: NetGain or NetLoss?
