description: Widely hailed as the most enjoyable business book of recent seasons, dot.bomb is the astonishing story of the Internet gold rush as it could only be told by an insider.J. David Kuo saw it all: the sky's-the-limit optimism, the hundreds of millions spent in a giddy grab for market share, the investors slavering to be inside, the belief that there really were new rules. He also saw what happened when wretched excess and ego-driven blunders forced gravity to reassert itself and when, ultimately, Wall Street demanded results. His book, alive with hilarious incidents and colorful characters, is destined to become a touchstone of the dot-com era.
