- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A better title for this book would have been "A New Insider's view of Silicon Valley." Interesting book, but if you read a lot, there is not much new Silicon Valley info here. The one line that I did love though is that if they valley was to be named now it would be "Innovation Alley" rather than Silicon Valley. So true! The book was a good reminder of how lucky I am to have grown up and had my whole career in the Innovation capital of the world.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great book that talks about the history of the Silicon Valley: from its creation to our days. It describes the uniqueness of the entrepreneurial culture in Silicon Valley and friendly environment that helps anyone to pursue his passion.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. Great inside information.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting book by a D.C. political staffer who ends up moving to the Silicon Valley and compiles a series of experiences and observations on how it became what it is and how it gets things done on a far different plane from traditional business.The book covers the history and growth in the area, how the right combination of education, innovation, and even lifestyle convened at the right time to make it the showplace of the world in creativity on a scale that affects our lives daily.Well worth the time exploring what makes the area different and super successful. How even failure is seen as potential success.
