Michael Lewis sets out on a safari through Silicon Valley to find the world's most important technology entrepreneur, the true representative of the coming age. All roads lead to a man who is about to achieve an unprecedented hat trick with the creation of his third, separate, billion-dollar company: first Silicon Graphics, then Netscape - which launched the Information Age - and now Healtheon, a startup that may turn the $1.5 trillion health-care industry on its head.. "Despite the variety of his achievements, this guy, Jim Clark, thinks of himself mainly as the creator of Hyperion, which happens to be a sailboat ... not just an ordinary yacht, but the world's largest single-mast vessel, a machine more complex than a 747. Whatever the next new new thing after Healtheon turns out to be, Michael Lewis is invited to be a fly on the wall aboard Hyperion as the shape of the future is revealed.. "We get the inside story of the battle between Netscape and Microsoft; we sit in the room as Healtheon management pitches the investment bankers on the idea that Healtheon is the next Microsoft; we get queasy as the great boat sets out into the rage of the North Atlantic in winter.. "The New New Thing describes a vast paradigm shift in American culture: a shift away from conventional business models and definitions of success, and toward a new way of thinking about the world and our control over it.
