San Francisco, Atlanta and the Carolina mill towns, 1993 to 2025. Bayard Winthrop spends fifteen years moving American production to Asia, is pushed out of a bag company in December 2010 for refusing to move any more of it, and sets out to build a sweatshirt in a country that had stopped making sweatshirts. Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius, laid off in the Atlanta collapse of April 2000, build an email tool as a sideline to a web design agency and then spend twenty years adding one piece to it at a time. Neither could buy speed. One climbed a supply chain building by building; the other climbed a software stack feature by feature. Both arrived somewhere nobody had planned for. Covers Bayard Winthrop, Ben Chestnut, Dan Kurzius, American Giant, and Rocket Science Group.
