This work offers a summary of the book “THE SILCON BOYS AND THEIR VALLEY OF DREAMS: the meek didn’t inherit the earth, the geek did” by David Kaplan.

David A. Kaplan is a prize-winning journalist and a senior writer at Newsweek.

In The Silicon Boys and Their Valley of Dreams, he exposes in detail and in a well-researched way the culture and history of Silicon Valley. He succeeds brilliantly in capturing all the excess of that notorious area which has become the epicenter of the New Economy and the symbol of high-tech genius and ineffable wealth. The author not only presents the story of the men behind Apple, Intel, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Fairchild… but also details how each high-tech company has come to existence, has been funded and has developed.

Kaplan has skillfully succeeded in putting together all these different life stories of the legends that have made the Valley into what it is today: the Valley of the Dollars.

The Silicon Boys and Their Valley of Dreams is a must read for anyone interested in one of the most dynamic places on the planet. Furthermore, it is the “best book to date on the subject”, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
