What people are saying

Praise for this book

Like Foveon's founders, Mr. Gilder wants to understand vision, albeit of a different kind: the vision of innovators. . . . The unpredictable disorder of markets is, in Microsoft parlance, not a bug but a feature. That's a lesson that Mr. Gilder's book drives home.-- "Wall Street Journal"
Proof that the spell of the Valley, after decades of booms and busts, is alive and well.--David Kushner "Washington Post"
