Abstract :
If you are even only a bit curious about the tensions and egos in the boardroom of a great company - Hewlett-Packard (HP), in this case and about the adventures of a successful venture capital entrepreneur, Tom Perkins\´ \´Valley Boy\´ offers a fascinating behind the scenes glimpse at an exciting period of technological and corporate change. The author isn\´t only an "on and off\´ director of HP but a high flier in venture capital, crazy about fast cars, builder of a clipper ship, and, after a long and happy marriage, he was briefly wed to the romantic novelist Danielle Steele.
