An irreverent Investigation of the world is Richest Man...and the People who Hate Him. 来源:精彩网http://www.exvv.com 来源:精彩网http://www.exvv.com 　　 "Exquisitely readable...one the best books on new technology so far." —San Francisco Chronicle 来源:精彩网http://www.exvv.com 来源:精彩网http://www.exvv.com 　　 To understand the magnitude of Bill Gates, one must understand the legions of people who are obsessed with him, in Silicon Valley and Seattle, on the Internet, in the media, and in Washington. In this irreverent work of comic nonfiction, acclaimed journalist Gary Rivlin strips away the puffery surrounding Bill Gates ad other titans of high tech, many of whom suffer from varying degrees of Bill Envy. The result is a contemporary variation on Moby Dick in which a loosely knit cabal of Ahab-like enemies such as Lawrence Ellison of Oracle and Scott McNealy of Sun Microsystems attempt to harpoon the Great White Whale of Seattle. They war joined in their plot to get Bill by a memorable array of players, including Silicon Valley attorney Gary Reback, consumer activist Ralph Nader, former Novell CEO Ray Noodra, and webheads who love to hate Gates.
