In 1975, there were a couple thousand physicists doing research in the areas of optics and semiconductor devices. A handful of scientists created a few inventions that formed the hardware platform for computers, mobile devices, the internet and broadband communication. They received plaques acknowledging the brilliance of their work. Today, computer, internet and social media software – which wouldn’t exist without the platform – is king. Five high tech corporations make up 12% of the US market capitalization of public companies. Many titans have wealth of $10 to $100B. How did so many derive so much wealth from the inventions of so few who received so little? “… a sweeping and deeply intelligent look at the history of an industry that has done more to shape the modern world than any other.” - Foreword Clarion Reviews. “…exactingly argued and refreshingly original.” “A painstaking account of the intersection of money, law, and creativity.” – Kirkus Reviews.
