This was a fascinating read overall but I found the effort to translate everything into modern big-tech terminology very distracting. Furthermore the Gates/Jobs or Microsoft/Apple analogies seem tenuous at best and gives the impression that the author is misrepresenting a story that is already interesting enough on its own.
- mcnichol 7y agoI liked how he wove it together (or attempted to). Agreed that he made points which appeared to stop you and think up the story to draw a parallel but I believe there is a cyclical nature to this. I like seeing the story behind great rivalries, Tesla and Edison, Marconi and Maskelyne, Einstein and Hilbert. Arguably you could say it parallels across the mere premise of rivalry. In any case, that was a new one for me!
