ONCE YOU’RE LUCKY, TWICE YOU’RE GOOD, a great motto for the post so called collapse of the Internet bubble silicon valley. Authored by Sarah Lacy, who reported around and in the circles of people making and giving birth to our generation.
History as we must know, conceives the paths of the future. Written in this book is basically a bible of the events taking place causing the largest mass collection and connection of people in the history of the world, via and called simply WEB 2.0.
Taking off from the leading footsteps of some of the valley’s first veterans, in the like’s of M. Levchin. Then we are lead into steps of the revolution which many felt coming but only a hand-full knew. R. Hoffman and P. Thiel to M. Zuckerberg, these are some of the names who are a part of the genius and the gift of WEB 2.0. Exploring through a biographical view of the silicon valley’s rebels who refused to give in to any of the conformities from the Venture Capitalists; And mutually helping to pull through a great generation.
Concluding the book, one of the things ironically can be considered that the dotcom crash was the hammer which broke-through the dugout rock (WEB 1.0) concealing inside it a diamond (WEB 2.0) in the rough. Lets not miss out on this next one.
