<P>In "the best book to date on the subject" (<I>San Francisco Chronicle</I>), prize-winning journalist David A. Kaplan brings to life the culture and history of Silicon Valley. The symbol of high-tech genius and ineffable wealth, a place that competes with Hollywood and Washington in the zeitgeist of success and excess, the Valley is the epicenter of the New Economy. Depending on yesterday's stock market close, roughly a quartermillion Siliconillionaires live in the Valley. And they're building megalo-mansions and buying Lamborghinis as fast as they can. Combining reportorial insight and biting wit, <I>The Silicon Boys</I> tells the unforgettable story of dreams and greed, ambition and luck, that has become the <B>Valley of the Dollars.</B></P>
