#23 The New New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story

Why Jim Clark was so worthy of study was another matter. And I'll come to that soon enough. For now I'll just say that the quirks on the man's character sent the most fantastic ripples through the world around him. Often starting with the best intentions or no intentions at all. He turned people's lives upside down and subjected them to the most vicious force a human being can be subjected to.

Change. Oddly enough, he was forever claiming that what he really wanted to do was put up his feet and relax. He could not do this for more than a minute. Once he'd put up his feet. His mind would spin and his face would redden.

And he'd d be disturbed all over again. He thought of something or someone in the world that needed to be changed. For all I knew. Clark would be remembered chiefly as the guy who created Netscape and triggered the internet boom. Which in turn triggered one of the most astonishing grab fests in the history of capitalism.
