Palo Alto and Mountain View, 1938 to 1981. Two men in a rented garage decide that the people who build the instruments will share what the instruments earn. Twenty years later eight physicists walk out of a laboratory because the man who hired them has no stake to give, and the company they found is bought out from under them by a clause written before they started. Ten years after that, two of those eight build a company where the option goes far below the line any compensation committee would have drawn, and a grant, a vesting date and a strike price become the standard pay of an industry that did not yet exist. This is how it happened, and what it cost. Covers William Hewlett, David Packard, William Shockley, Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, Arthur Rock, Hewlett-Packard, Fairchild Semiconductor, and Intel.
