    My favorite books for understanding the history of Silicon Valley: Troublemakers by Berlin The new new thing by Lewis Dealers of lightning by Hitzik Hackers by Levy Would love to hear any other recommendations. Haven’t read a great one about Intel or HPhttps://twitter.com/austenallred/status/1005679900815122432 …

    Related: I think the best way to understand Silicon Valley is by reading history of the companies pre-Apple. All of us today just live in the ecosystem created in the days Intel, HP, Silicon Graphics, etc. Also it was 100x harder then than it is now.

        The New New Thing is weirdly under-known and underrated. Fabulous book.

        "The Innovators" from Walter Isaacson has a couple of great sections on Intel's history. Not sure about HP, but "Silicon Cowboys" is a great documentary about Compaq's start
