ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The New New Thing by Michael Lewis is the story of entrepreneur and computer scientist Jim Clark, the heady days of the 1990s .com bubble, and the companies he started. Namely, Silicon Graphics, Netscape, and Healtheon. Written in 1999, it captures a particular era in Silicon Valley, including the unbridled enthusiasm of venture capitalists and startup-stock compensated software engineers thinking they can change the world at every turn. In this episode we’ll discuss the book, the time, the place, and the man, Jim Clark.
