Title: someone please kick Jim Clark in the head
Review: I was a big fan of Lewis's Liar's Poker and was hoping for a similar treatment of the dot-com era ridiculousness. However, this is really a biography of Jim Clark -- basically one of those narcissistic, whiny executives who insists that every second of his time is 100x more valuable than your whole life. The problem is, Lewis basically agrees, fawning all over him, hanging on his every move just in case some tiny morsel of wisdom falls from the corner of Clark's mouth. It's also already a little myopic, in that "visionaries" with no real business model and a disdain for human interaction aren't at the top of the food chain these days (good thing Clark already made his $$). Interesting, however, for a glimpse into how foolish VCs can be. I couldn't get past the first half of the book, though, thoroughly uninterested in the fate of Clark's big big boat.
