> This book was a huge disappointment. The authors try to draw parallels between the current high-tech/Internet phenomenon and previous "manias." However, their rational is very poor. As an example, they say the Internet Bubble will burst just like biotechnology did. What they fail to mention is that Internet usage and penetration has grown faster than anything in the history of mankind. Furthermore, Internet companies are posting revenues and mainly losing money because it is a market share game right now. Biotech companies, on the other hand, never had any revenue until they had a drug on the market. They only focus on the negatives and don't provide both sides of the story. This type of faulty reasoning is why I believe your money would be better spent on other Internet books.
We are right back to the "share game". Although profits are in a better place, and there do appear to be strong winners today, the companies making money (Google and Facebook) are doing so at the expense of companies who are losing money ta make market share, which makes the whole thing feel like a giant house of cards.
