Featuring in-depth interviews with dozens of Swedish entrepreneurs. Edited by legendary C64 games journalist Julian Rignall, this 188- page hardback book features over 50,000 words, complemented by a wealth of Commodore 64 imagery, some of which has never been seen before.

Su questo libro

L'autore

Jimmy Wilhelmsson: I was brought up in a happy Swedish working class environment in which there was little interest in neither technology nor entreprenurship. To me, home computers became perfect tools for my teenage rebellion. I became more interested the less my parents understood. My parents did however encourage me to write. I wanted to become a teacher or a writer, later a journalist - then I grew up in a society where anyone may become just about anything. All at once. Today, I write about what I once learned in the past and connect it with today's exciting technology. I stride forward with a glance backward.
