In the US, Random House/Times Book is going to turn up next month with a $22 volume called Computer Wars, How the West Can Win in a Post-IBM World, a blueprint for how America can retain supremacy in computing: it reviews the background leading to the fall of IBM, outlines what’s required to win, discusses market opportunities by area, the future of key companies and argue for a US technology policy; the hero of the book is apparently the small fast-moving entrepreneurial companies.
