Fire in the Valley, akıcı bir dile sahip güzel bir kitap.
1980'lerde yazılmış ama anca yeni okuyabilme fırsatı buldum.
Kitap, 1970'lerdeki kişisel bilgisayar devrimini anlatıyor. Altair'le anlatmaya başladığı donananımsal devrimi, yazılım sektörüyle devam ettiriyor.
Şu an okuduğum 2014 tarihli genişletilmiş 3. baskısı.

Başlık: Fire in the Valley: The Birth and Death of the Personal Computer
Yazarlar: Michael Swaine, Paul Freiberger
Baskı: 3rd Edition
Yılı: 2014
Hakkında: "Probably the best book about tech industry. It's fascinating just how clueless major corporations were about the personal computer industry - and how the early computer firms cobbled together their products figuring things out as they went along. Also shocking how small the early R&D budgets and tight the development timelines for early video games were. So many classic hardware and software products were hastily slapped together with minimal time for polishing, let alone testing. The feverish pace of advances is captured with real verve and great details by Freiberger. This book is likely to sweep along even readers who assume they have zero interest in Silicon Valley's history."
