[S6E1] The New New Thing by Michael Lewis

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.
