Sobre este item
New York:: Times Business / Random House,, (1999). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a near fine dustjacket.. First printing. INSCRIBED by the author on the half title page and dated in the year of publication. "From Gates's awkward adolescence to his position as the world's richest man, Rivlin takes a deep look into his character and uses him as a means to reveal the character of those that oppose him, a drama that he likens to that in Moby Dick. . . Rivlin tries not to take sides. Nevertheless, the Captain Ahabs (Ray Noorda, Scott McNealy, Larry Ellison, among others) come off looking less flawed, but certainly not as smart or as calculating or as dangerous as the white whale (Gates)." (Harry C. Edwards) includes a compendium of Microsoft jokes, index. 360 pp.

Em Aug 21 2023, um leitor disse:
I think the author is very biased because he writes as if Bill Gates did no evil deeds. When he bought farmland as if he were the farmer, or God himself. Not to forget the fact he was friends with Jeffrey Epstein the sex offender, and the author writing about Bill Gates probably did not mention those facts about the dark side of Bill Gates. Other than that he seems like an interesting person. Even though he is greedy and acts all self righteous, and he has this sence of you do this for the greater good nonsense like a James Bond or Austin Powers movie villain.
