Renegades of the Empire: How Three Software Warriors Started a Revolution Behind the Walls of Fortress Microsoft
A Tale of Success, Failure, and Other Dark Deeds inside Fortress Microsoft
Michael Drummond
A tantalizing behind-the-scenes look at how a revolutionary new technology is developed and marketed by Microsoft.Though the rules of the computer industry have changed since Tracy Kidder's 1981 book, The Soul of the New Machine, the manipulative culture and intrigue that prevails in large corporations has not. In Renegades of the Empire, Michael Drummond, writing with the same insider access and narrative drive as Kidder, shows how three of Bill Gates's front-line warriors engage in subterfuge, backstabbing and high-level political intrigue to build and sell Chrome, a ground-breaking browser technology. In an exclusive agreement with the author, the three high level employees will lift the curtain on many of Microsoft's controversial practices. Their stories of ambition, lust for power and conquest reveal the Darwinian struggles that go on behind the walls of fortress Microsoft.
