Accidental Empires. How the boys of Silicon Valley make their millions, battle foreign competition, and still can´t get a date
Nyskick. Harper Business 1993.Ny utgåva 1996 Häftad. Mycket fint skick. Oläst. A book written by Mark Stephens under the pen name Robert X. Cringely about the founding of the personal computer industry and the history of Silicon Valley. The style of the book is informal, and in the first chapter Cringley claims that he is not a historian but an explainer, and that "historians have a harder job because they can be faulted for what is left out; explainers like me can get away with printing only the juicy parts."[1] The book was revised and republished in 1996, with new material added. A documentary based on the book, called Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires was produced by PBS in 1996, with Cringely as the presenter.
