Seller's Description:
VG in VG DJ. FDR's chief scientific advisor in 1943 writes an article that fortells the future & inspires scientists who built the internet. Vannevar Bush, FDR's adviser, sat down in 1945 to write a magazine article about the future. His vision of a desktop computer that would contain all of human knowledge inspired the scientists who built the Internet. Here Cassidy, one of the country's leading financial journalists and a staff writer for the New Yorker, relates the stories of Internet companies.
This history of the dot.com bubble has all the ingredients of a Restoration comedy -- manners masquerading as sophistication, the sheer folly of social pretense and the pathetic attempt to stay abreast of fashion -- and the knockabout antics of French farce. The thumbnail history of the Internet alone is worth the cover price, but those of us who got caught in the bubble need Cassidy's cautionary wisdom -- those who subsequently brought us to ruin in another, more explosive bubble obviously never had this book on their reading list.
