Description and Table of Contents

Description

This anecdotal history of the computer industry focuses on the odd personalities - Steve Jobes, Steve Wozniak, Mitch Kapor and Bill Gates - as well as on the hacker culture they spawned. The manias and foibles of these men are revealed, and their neuroses have shaped the computer business, which seems as lethargic at certain times as it is innovative at others. "Accidental Empires" is also available on two 90-minute audiocassettes from HarperAudio.
