    The Big Score – How Silicon Valley Was Really Built

    Book Summary

    The Big Score presents a vivid and authoritative account of how Silicon Valley emerged from obscurity to become the center of global technological innovation. Written by Michael S. Malone, one of the first journalists to cover the tech industry from the inside, this book explores the personalities, risks, failures, and triumphs that fueled the Valley’s billion-dollar growth. With a narrative that stretches from the founding of Hewlett-Packard in the 1930s to the wild boom of the 1970s, Malone unearths the cultural, financial, and personal dynamics behind the tech revolution. This is not a sanitized Silicon Valley fairy tale—it is a raw, revealing history built on interviews and firsthand reporting.
