Summary of Michael Lewis's The New New Thing

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Lord Jim Clark was the creator of Netscape and the Internet boom, which triggered one of the most astonishing grabfests in the history of capitalism. He was always claiming that he wanted to relax, but he could not do so for more than a minute. He had to change something.

#2 The Dutch do not enjoy being mistaken for Germans, so they find a funny side to life where none exists. I told a Dutchman that I was going sailing in the North Sea, and he laughed nervously.

#3 Wolter was the manager of the Huisman Shipyard, and he was extremely pessimistic about the new yachts that were being built there. He believed that every new yacht that left the yard was an accident waiting to happen.

#4 The launch of the computerized sailboat Hyperion was delayed due to the weather. The head programmer, Steve Hague, was uncertain about the computer’s gauges and accuracy. The wind speed gauges had frozen at fifty knots, which is the maximum limit.
