Belatedly, I am reading the "New New Thing" by Michael Lewis, who was incidentally the Princeton roomy of my friend Julio Gomez. While the book is out of date (most of the protagonist Jim Clark's ventures are now dead or dying), it is a good read. Jim's biggest failure, and that of his financial backers, was to attempt to build disruptive technology at the center instead of at the periphery where it belongs.
