Reception

Steve Banker of Forbes commented "This is a book that could have been deadly dull. But the writer, Gregory Zuckerman, an experienced business journalist, did a good job of mixing the technological developments, politics, and economics of this business with a mostly entertaining narrative of the entrepreneurs who built this business and made billions in the process."[7]
