Date of Review:  Nov 2, 1999
Review: When people learned that Michael Lewis and Po Bronson both were working on new books about the Silicon Valley, there was an inevitable sense of anticipation about the match-up: two keen observers and graceful writers, each aimed at the transcendent...

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2002
The Bottom Line: This book is somewhat interesting as a study in pathology -- of the dot-com boom and Lewis' writing
Review: I cannot think of any book I ever read that is so thoroughly lacking in redeeming qualities as Michael Lewis' The New New Thing (although Ellickson's "Order Without Law" comes pretty close). The central idea of The New New Thing -- set forth in an...

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 1999
Review: Michael Lewis first charmed the pants off of everyone with his still hysterical account of Wall Street in Liar's Poker. His efforts since then have been decent, always told through his sharp wit and keen insight, but the subject matter hasn't...

Professional Reviews

  Los Angeles Times: "Lewis...is America's poet laureate of capital. No one writes more fluently about the art of making money, and Jim Clark...is Lewis' ideal subject....Lewis brilliantly describes Clark's intensity and passion, his genius for technology and leadership and his impatience with convention."

First Line

  The original plan, which Lord knows didn't mean very much when that plan had been made by Jim Clark, was that we would test the boat quickly in the North Sea and then sail it across the Atlantic Ocean.
