What are the best books on Silicon Valley and the dot com boom and bust?


I'd love to read some good accounts from people who went through or studied the dot com boom and bust. Varying perspectives would be great, founders, employees, VC's, bankers, brokers etc.

The New New Thing, by Michael Lewis, is about Jim Clark and the companies he founded at the time. It's a good read.

Totally Wired, by Andrew Smith, tells the story of the dot com boom and bust from the NYC perspective. There was a lot more happening in NYC than I ever imagined, and I lived there at the time. It was also a much more artistic scene than I ever knew.
