    In Search of Stupidity  

review by Gordon Graham

This book is a gem. From start to finish, its irreverent tone and right-on analysis made it impossible for me to put down.

I'd say that In Search of Stupidity is simply the best book of the year for anyone in high-tech marketing...

    Everyone Else Must Fail  

review by Gordon Graham

As founder and chief executive of Oracle, Larry Ellison has masterminded the growth of one of the world's biggest software firms.

    The Naked Corporation  

review by Gordon Graham

Digital guru Don Tapscott is a master of re-stating the obvious to make it sound profound.

      The Privacy Payoff

Everyone knows we have to give up a little privacy to gain security, right?

Not so, according to this timely new book. It's a false tradeoff, the authors argue--and if you don't see that, you're out of touch with the issue of the decade...

      Crossing the Chasm
& Inside the Tornado


These two books are rightly called "must-reads" for anyone involved in high-tech marketing.

In them, author Geoffrey Moore lays out a clear and compelling description for what he calls the Technology Adoption Life Cycle--or how people buy and absorb technology...
