Industry Reviews
"Mr. Lewis tells a great story in this book, with prose that ranges from the beautiful to the witty to the breathtaking."
Moody

"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."
Wittner

"[This book]...reads, for most of us, like fiction in the best sense, providing character revelation and narrative surprises along the way....Lewis conveys with a rare combination of wisdom and glee both the thrill and absurdity of late-20th-century business....THE NEW NEW THING leaves one with a fond respect for Jim Clark and a dizzy awe at the weird, hypercapitalist moment in which we find ourselves."
Andersen

"Lewis is a first-rate storyteller, and no one in Silicon Valley has lived as many stories as Clark."
Bernstein

"No one has conveyed the atmosphere of the boom better than Michael Lewis. His book THE NEW NEW THING has some serious flaws....But page by page and scene by scene, it is full of fascinating, vivid reportage about the high-tech culture at a moment when all previous financial and technical constraints on it seem to have been removed. People will read this book years from now to know what the Interenet boom was like--as they now read his first book, LIAR'S POKER, to recapture the atmosphere of Wall Street during the bound-trading heyday of the 1980s. The same droll spirit and gift for observation that Lewis displayed in LIAR'S POKER are here, too, from beginning to end....This is a wickedly funny book...but it is also...systematically informative about the technology business....The delightful effect on Ferguson of being rich is to make him an indiscreet writer. Everyone who insulted him in a negotiation or generally got on his wrong side is in for it here....Ferguson ridicules the prevailing assumption in the high-tech world that the current venture capital structure is a wise, flexible, prescient, or efficient way of directing resources to their optimal use....Ferguson offers an illuminating firsthand perspective on what he calls 'the Microsoft question' which differs both from the company's own claim 'We just want to innovate!" and Judge Thomas Penfield's recent "findings of fact" that Microsoft is a monopoly.
New York Review of Books - James Fallows (12/16/1999)
