Amazon Summary
New York Times Bestseller. “A superb book. . . . [Lewis] makes Silicon Valley as thrilling and intelligible as he made Wall Street in his best-selling Liar’s Poker.”― Time In the weird glow of the dying millennium, Michael Lewis set out on a safari through Silicon Valley to find the world’s most important technology entrepreneur. He found this in Jim Clark, a man whose achievements include the founding of three separate billion-dollar companies. Lewis also found much more, and the result―the best-selling book The New New Thing ―is an ingeniously conceived history of the Internet revolution.

Jim Clark is in pretty rare company having created three unicorns in his career. I wonder if anyone has been the founder of four?

Terrific interview of Clark by Jason Calacanis. To my knowledge it's the first interview he's granted in sixteen years.

If you want a primer on Clark's career Michael Lewis wrote a book about him in 1999 at the height of the bubble:
