The History of Silicon Valley — A Brief Summary (Part 1/3)

Interestingly, I’ve found most successful founders have a deep appetite for history: In the book “Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire”, biographers James Wallace and Kim Erickson said Gates would “consume a number of biographies — Franklin Roosevelt’s and Napoleon’s, among others — to understand…
