Customer Reviews
A perfect holiday gift!
This book is one of the most readable and digestable summaries of the people and ideas that make up Silicon Valley that I have seen. The text is well written, graphics and images nicely done and the length is perfect for both kids and adults who would like to get an overview of what's behind the high tech industry. I am going to give this one out for X-mas this year.
