Présentation de l'éditeur:

Bestselling author Michael Lewis sets out to discover the world's most important technology entrepreneur, the man who embodies the spirit of the coming age. He finds him in Jim Clark, the billionaire who is about to create his third, separate, billion-dollar company: first Silicon Graphics; then Netscape, which launched the information age; and now Healtheon, which aims to turn the $1 trillion US health care industry on its head.

Accompanying Clark on the maiden voyage of his vast computerised yacht, Lewis tells the story of the battle between Netscape and Microsoft. Through every brilliant anecdote and funny character sketch, Lewis allows us an inside look at the world of the super-rich, whilst drawing a map of free enterprise in the twenty-first century. Prepare to be taken on the ride of a lifetime through this strange landscape of stormy seas, netheads and billionaires.
