by Michael Wolff
This wickedly funny chronicle of Wolff's rags to riches adventures as a fledgling Internet entrepreneur exposes an industry powered by hype, celebrity, and investment dollars.
First line
I am a reluctant participant in a conference of CEOs of information and technology companies being held at the Ritz in Laguna Beach, one of the poshest in the Ritz chain.
From the rear cover
Michael Wolff's wickedly funny chronicle of his rags-to-riches-to-rags adventure as a fledgling Internet entrepreneur exposes an industry powered by hype, celebrity, and billions of investment dollars -- and notably devoid of profit-making enterprises.
As he describes his efforts to control his company's burn rate -- the amount of money the company consumes in excess of its income -- Wolff offers a no-holds-barred portrait of unaccountable successes and major disasters, including the story behind Wired magazine and its fanatical founder, Louis Rossetto; the rise of America Online, perhaps the most dysfunctional successful company in history; and the humiliating inability of people such as Bill Gates to untangle the intricacies of the Web.
