A David A. Kaplan Tech History of Silicon Valley's 1990s Dot-Com Boom

Long before mega-corporations dominated the global economy, a small strip of Santa Clara County fruit orchards transformed into the epicenter of the digital revolution. Tech journalist David A. Kaplan goes inside the culture of early Silicon Valley, profiling pioneers like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Marc Andreessen, and Larry Ellison during the wild dot-com gold rush of the 1990s.

Kaplan uncovers the unique blend of ambition, venture capital greed, and technological genius that fueled the microchip, personal computing, and the early World Wide Web.
