Now, in \u003cem\u003eThe Man Behind the Microchip\u003c\/em\u003e, Leslie Berlin captures not only this colorful individual but also the vibrant interplay of technology, business, money, politics, and culture that defines Silicon Valley.\u003cbr\u003e Here is the life of a high-tech industry giant. The co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, Noyce co-invented the integrated circuit, the electronic heart of every modern computer, automobile, cellular telephone, advanced weapon, and video game. With access to never-before-seen documents, Berlin paints a fascinating portrait of Noyce: an ambitious and intensely competitive multimillionaire who exuded a \"just folks\" sort of charm, a Midwestern preacher's son who rejected organized religion but would counsel his employees to \"go off and do something wonderful,\" a man who never looked back and sometimes paid a price for it. In addition, this vivid narrative sheds light on Noyce's friends and associates, including some of the best-known managers, venture capitalists, and creative minds in Silicon Valley. Berlin draws upon interviews with dozens of key players in modern American business--including Andy Grove, Steve Jobs, Gordon Moore, and Warren Buffett; their recollections of\u003cbr\u003eNoyce give readers a privileged, first-hand look inside the dynamic world of high-tech entrepreneurship.\u003cbr\u003e A modern American success story, \u003cem\u003eThe Man Behind the Microchip\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the triumphs and setbacks of one of the most important inventors and entrepreneurs of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeslie Berlin\u003c\/strong\u003e is Project Historian for the Silicon Valley Archives at Stanford University.
