Most people have never heard of him, but Michael Lewis' The New, New Thing immortalises Jim Clark, the most interesting billionaire on the planet.
Thanks to The Big Short I've been made aware of this book but is it worth a read in 2016? What does the HN crowd think?
- CPLX 11y agoI read it about a year ago and thought it was excellent, and definitely the kind of thing an HN reader would enjoy. It has a point of view that's a little hagiographic but whatever, that's easy enough to get over. Michael Lewis is so technically skilled as a nonfiction writer that it's always fun to read him.
- rpgmaker 11y agoAwesome, I will definitely read it now. Thanks.
