Review

"In truth, one might say that this book has had at least a hundred authors.' This enlightening comment from the preface ... reveals its strongest feature -- the worldwide network of highly knowledgeable advisers and contributors that aided its thorough search into 'the tangled history of silicon'... Electronic Genie is a resounding success in providing a highly informative and stimulating account of this story." -- James D. Meindl, Nature
