Review How to be a Billionaire: Proven Strategies from the Titans of Wealth / John Wiley & Sons:Forget Regis Philbin's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". Martin Fridson's How to Be a Billionaire sets its sights much higher and therefore seems an even more appropriate (if somewhat less realistic) goal for today's tycoon wannabes. There are some 200 individuals in the US alone who now breathe this rarefied air, writes Merrill Lynch, managing director of Fridson, and no reason why those who adopt their philosophies cannot join them. To that end, he studied more than a dozen of the self-made super-rich, including Sam Walton, Bill Gates, Wayne Huizenga and Warren Buffett. He then synthesized their techniques for success into nine strategies: take monumental risks, do business in new ways, dominate your market, consolidate an industry, buy low, thrive on deals, out-manage the competition, invest in political influence and resist unions. Dividing profiles of these high fliers into chapters focused on their prevailing principles, he shows how each played a critical role in the growth of an empire. Walton didn't invent discounting, for example; he tweaked existing practices for the late-20th-century marketplace. Likewise, Huizenga didn't start individual companies but integrated existing competitors into powerhouse organizations. While Billionaire may not be a true self-help manual, it does offer a fascinating glimpse at tactics used by those who've played the game and won. -Howard Rothman, Amazon. [+]com.

Review Telecosm: How Infinite Bandwidth Will Revolutionize Our World / Simon & Schuster:And he said, "Let the computer age be over". And so it was. In Telecosm: How Infinite Bandwidth Will Revolutionize Our World George Gilder predicts a revolutionary new era of unlimited bandwidth. It describes how the "age of the microchip"-dubbed the "microcosm"-is ending and leaving in its wake a new era-the "telecosm", or "the world enabled and defined by new communications technology". Speaking like a prophet of the bandwidth deity, Brother Gilder lays down the telecosmic commandments-the Law of the Telecosm, Gilder's Law, the Black Box Law, and so on. He describes the gaggle of industry players-from cable and satellite to telephone and computer-who populate the telecosm arena. What happens when we become blessed with the miracle of infinite bandwidth? Gilder writes, "You can replace the seven-layer smart network with a much faster, dumber, unlayered one. Let all messages careen around on their own. Let the end-user machines take responsibility for them. Amid the oceans of abundant bandwidth, anyone who wants to drink just needs to invent the right kind of cup". [+]And what of unlimited bandwidth? No mere contradiction in terms, unlimited bandwidth is what we strive for ("we" meaning those of us bravely suffering through the contradictions of Moore's Law and Metcalfe's Law, as we increase our RAM and decrease our Net access time). While it seems too simple to describe Telecosm as a telescopically written book of cosmic proportions, it is that and more. Gilder's political rants and raves for infinite bandwidth boldly foretell the age of the telecosm and its dramatic impact on all of us-of our metamorphosis from users bound by the limits of our networks to "bandwidth angels", computing in the "promethean light". -E. Brooke Gilbert.
