- leoc 12y agoSo far I've just dipped into it at the bookshops. Maybe a little bit inspirational and personality-centric, but overall Malone seems to be fairly well-informed (I am not a topic expert) and not concerned to sugar-coat the bad. For a book billed as a joint biography, it's disappointing that the author doesn't seem to have had any direct access to the subjects. But if you're interested in a popular history of Intel or the first decades of the semiconductor industry then I think this should do nicely. (However see this lukewarm review on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1ZKDIXCGFBZ02/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00G2A7WL2 http://www.amazon.com/review/R1ZKDIXCGFBZ02/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pe... .)
