Description

Casey Hait (au); Stephen Weiss (au). The commercial & cultural explosion of the digital age may have been born in California’s Silicon Valley, but it reached its high point of riotous exuberance in NY City from 1995 to 2000 -- in Silicon Alley. In that short period of time a generation of talented, untested twenty somethings deluged the city, launching thousands of new Internet ventures & attracting billions of dollars in investment capital. The innovations they launched -- from online ads to 24-hour webcasting -- propelled both the Internet & the tech-stock boom of the late 1990s . . . until April 2000, when the NASDAQ finally burst. Weaving together the perspectives of more than 50 of the industry’s leading characters, this oral history offers a look at the birth of a new medium.
