TitleLeadingThe

Reviews"Proof that the spell of the Valley, after decades of booms and busts, is alive and well." -- David Kushner (Washington Post) "Like Foveon's founders, Mr. Gilder wants to understand vision, albeit of a different kind: the vision of innovators. . . . The unpredictable disorder of markets is, in Microsoft parlance, not a bug but a feature. That's a lesson that Mr. Gilder's book drives home." -- Wall Street Journal

SynopsisThanks to the digital technology revolution, cameras are everywhere--PDAs, phones, anywhere you can put an imaging chip and a lens. Battling to usurp this two-billion-dollar market is a Silicon Valley company, Foveon, whose technology not only produces a superior image but also may become the eye in artificially intelligent machines. Behind Foveon are two legendary figures who made the personal computer possible: Carver Mead of Caltech, one of the founding fathers of information technology, and Federico Faggin, inventor of the CPU--the chip that runs every computer. George Gilder has covered the wizards of high tech for twenty-five years and has an insider's knowledge of Silicon Valley and the unpredictable mix of genius, drive, and luck that can turn a startup into a Fortune 500 company. The Silicon Eye is a rollicking narrative of some of the smartest--and most colorful--people on earth and their race to transform an entire industry., With an insider's knowledge of Silicon Valley, George Gilder concentrates on the efforts of some of the brightest people on earth to transform an industry.
