Summary:
In "the best book to date on the subject" (San Francisco Chronicle),
prize-winning journalist David A. Kaplan brings to life the culture
and history of Silicon Valley. The symbol of high-tech genius and
ineffable wealth, a place that competes with Hollywood and Washington
in the zeitgeist of success and excess, the Valley is the epicenter
of the New Economy. Depending on yesterday's stock market close,
roughly a quartermillion Siliconillionaires live in the Valley. And
they're building megalo-mansions and buying Lamborghinis as fast as
they can. Combining reportorial insight and biting wit, The Silicon
Boys tells the unforgettable story of dreams and greed, ambition and
luck, that has become the Valley of the Dollars.
