This is a landmark series that tells the story of the Internet Revolution - the technological, cultural, commercial and social revolution that has radically changed all our lives. It takes an edgy, irreverent approach to its subject in a way that Silicon Valley will relish.
We hear how it happened directly from the men and women who made it possible.
From the founders of eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape, Google and many others, we hear amazing stories of how, in ten short years, the internet took over our lives. These extraordinary men and women tell us how they went from being geeky, computer obsessed nerds to being 21st century visionaries in the time it takes most people to get their first promotion. And how they made untold billions along the way.
The style of the story-telling is up close and personal. With first hand testimony from the key players, we tell a story that has all the excitement of a thriller - full of battles and back-stabbing, moments of genius and moments of sheer hilarity. You will never surf the net in the same way again.
The series is presented by technology journalist John Heileman (Wired, New York Magazine). He's an edgy, combative, hi-energy New Yorker who never takes anything at face value. He's the Hunter S Thompson of tech. He's a personal friend of most of Silicon Valley's most important characters and he revels in craziness of it all. After all, this is a story in which 20 year olds become overnight billionaires, create, destroy and re-create more wealth in ten years that human race has ever seen and still struggle to get a date.
