THE NEW NEW THING

According to this slight, entertaining tome, Silicon Valley is a very silly place and Jim Clark, founder of Netscape, a very silly guy. Youthful-sounding Bruce Reizen sails through the risible true-life adventure in a travelogue singsong. He fully voices characters, a dubious deed considering that they're actual living persons whom he may or may not have ever heard. Otherwise he is quite listener-friendly.
