If you are looking for a real history of Microsoft or the rising of Silicon Valley (this was my case), then this is not the book you are looking for. Instead, this book contains some articles of Ted Lewis (written between 1993-1998) that shows the evolution of the hi-tech industry.

Each article looks beyond the possibilities (in the time it was written) and the possible effects (let's say predictions) that in most of the cases were right and leaded to the actual present we are living. It was a very interesting reading although it was not the kind of tales that I was looking for.
