Review:
Journalist Michael Wolff is a recognised pioneer in the business of cyberspace who has been developing products and services for the online world since the dark ages of 1994. During the following years however, not all the activities he engaged in nor all the people he dealt with left a pleasant taste in his mouth--although his cumulative adventures certainly have been very lucrative. In Burn Rate: How I Survived the Gold Rush Years on the Internet Wolff pulls few punches as he candidly and methodically recounts the single steps forward and multiple steps back that marked his experiences while trying to transform a fledgling print media enterprise into a towering New Media colossus. After developing a series of "NetGuide" books that proved highly successful he attempted to transfer the concept to a variety of online offshoots and in the process collaborating with Wired magazine, Time-Warner's Pathfinder, the late Robert Maxwell's media empire, AOL, assorted venture capitalists, sundry competitors and numerous would-be partners. Burn Rate is a fascinating tale that might best be characterised by the old adage that warns us to "be careful what we wish for, for we just might get it". --Howard Rothman
Review:
Kurt Andersen columnist at "The New Yorker" "Burn Rate" is the real deal: a smart, thoughtful, funny, knowing, clear-eyed, candid and altogether exhilarating insider's chronicle of the new media business -- that is, the new media "business." If there's more honest and entertaining book on the digital revolution, I haven't seen it.
Amy Cortese"Business Week""Burn Rate" is a hilarious and frightening account of the life of an Internet startup.
Peter Martin"Financial Times"Wolff has given us the best account of both the lure and the frustration of the Internet.
Deborah Stead"The New York Times""Burn Rate" has a terrific feel for the crazy deals, the characters and the clashing bicoastal cultures of the Internet.
Peter McGrath"Newsweek,.".the alternately hilarious and appalling story of Wolff's efforts to take his small Web publishing company into the big time by courting investors.
Michael Lewisauthor of "Liar's Poker" and "Trail Fever""Burn Rate" is a delight to read. Michael Wolff shows that, in addition to a great deal of junk, the Internet may yet produce literature.
