From the Author
"The Microsoft case is the most important legal dispute of this century or the last. Ken Auletta has done something extraordinary in making its significance sing. His book is a perfect integration of the legal and the business drama at the heart of the case. His insights are relevant not just to the narrow field of antitrust, but to democracy in a technology-governed world in general, and to the struggles that will define the coming decades." - Lawrence Lessig, author of Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace
"With assurance and skill, Ken Auletta weaves complex economic, legal, and technological ideas into a most compelling story. Like all fine courtroom dramas, the book's hallmark is its vivid delineation of the character of the protagonists. To transform a complex antitrust case into such a gripping narrative is an impressive accomplishment." - Richard C. Levin, Beinecke Professor of Economics and President, Yale University
"It is hard to imagine a more absorbing account of Microsoft's marathon battle with the U.S. government and its legions of tenacious rivals. In prose that is at once deft, lucid and knowing, Ken Auletta unravels the mysteries of antitrust law, as well as the arcana of computers and the Internet, with magisterial ease. Who else could have packed so much information between two covers and yet made the narrative so fluent and compelling? Best of all, the book is liberally sprinkled with memorable portraits of the protagonists... This book is a gripping courtroom drama, an elegy for Microsoft's warrior culture, and mandatory reading for anyone interested in the future of the Information Age." - Ron Chernow, author of Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The trial between Microsoft and the US Government is the most important anti-trust case in modern history - the case that is putting its defining stamp on the digital age, setting the richest man and company on earth against the most powerful government on earth. This is a thrilling courtroom drama in which Bill Gates and his all-star legal team went down in humiliating defeat - caused partly by his own hubris - and partly by his enemies - Sony, Sun Microsystems, Intel and the other companies who hate the Microsoft monopoly and also want to own the future. The book contains startling revelations about the titanic battles of these corporations and the US government. But more than that, World War 3.0 is also the story of a global information economy that is up for grabs. In a climate of unparalleled frenzy and hype, which has affected everyone, the key players now realise that you are either first or you are a carrion for the birds. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001705649
