Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Originally in public relations at Hewlett-Packard and later with the San Jose Mercury News covering the electronics industry, Malone brings considerable firsthand knowledge to his treatment of the birth and evolution of Silicon Valley and the semiconductor/computer industry. He has brought together biographical sketches of the key personalities and the facts of the development of the key industries: HP, Fairchild Semi-Conductor, Intel, etc. To these he adds far more explicit detail and personal insight than is found in many works on Silicon Valley. But he also presents a more depressing picture: the destructiveness of the new lifestyle on personal relationships, the drug abuse, the grey-collar crime, the espionage, etc. Stability and moderation seem to be in short supply. This is an interesting, but pessimistic, analysis of the past and future of Silicon Valley. Hilary D. Burton, Lawrence Livermore National Labs., Univ. of California, Livermore
