Description
How did Silicon Valley come back from the dot-com crash — stronger, cockier, and ready to change the world again? In Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good, journalist Sarah Lacy chronicles the resurrection of tech’s most mythic region and the rise of Web 2.0.
Drawing on hundreds of interviews with founders, venture capitalists, and insiders, Lacy profiles the entrepreneurs who defined the era — the builders of YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and countless startups — and examines what separates a one-hit wonder from a serial success. Her reporting captures the culture of risk, reinvention, and relentless optimism that powered the boom.
Part business history, part character study, the book goes behind the hype to show how Silicon Valley reinvented itself after the bubble burst — and what the rest of us can learn from it. A lively, insightful read for tech enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about the personalities and ideas that shaped the modern internet.
