It is similarly narrative and not technical, and fairly dated, but nevertheless a good introduction to the industry- I feel. But what do you think are the methodological/structural flaws in The Prize?<br /><br />On another note, I have also been looking for more quantitative - but still readable! - literature on the industry and the associated geopolitics. A Quest for Geeks may not exist, but can you suggest some articles or authors that you have found useful?<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Ushma Shah<br /><br />Ushma Shah<br />University of Pennsylvania<br />Bachelor in International Relations, Economics<br />shahu@sas.upenn.eduUshma Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198365090325081139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-4868569102425659352011-11-03T16:06:28.730+05:302011-11-03T16:06:28.730+05:30Jose,
Sorry if my attempt at humour was confusing...Jose,<br /><br />Sorry if my attempt at humour was confusing. <i>The Quest for Geeks</i> is a title that I made up to convey the book idea which I thought is worth pursuing. As I say in the post, it <i>would</i> be a great book. It does not exist.Ajay Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835842741008200034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-48860358799837926032011-11-03T14:23:25.553+05:302011-11-03T14:23:25.553+05:30Googled and amazoned for "The Quest for Geeks...Googled and amazoned for "The Quest for Geeks" and there is just no trace. Is this an Indian publisher? Amazon, often leaves out non American publishers. Really surprising that it does not appear in Google.Jose Kollamkulamnoreply@blogger.com
