Product Description
“Hard Drive!” is a Silicon Valley high-tech adventure novel set during the rise of Seagate Technology, today’s leading maker of computer hard disc drives. My years at Seagate were so extraordinary I felt driven to tell their stories.Craziness was commonplace in early Seagate for the company to survive, which its own people called a “cowboy company.” Impossible to capture in a simple documentary, this is a fictionalized novel of craziness, excitement, and tears as Seagate first thrived with its invention of the personal computer hard disc drive, nearly died, survived, and finally arrived dominant in drives. Every chapter is based on a true happening. Some have been dramaticized.It’s an adventure of a lifetime of a magnetics researcher turned design engineer, participating in the half-century of disk drive progress led by colorful and intriguing pioneers that took drives from a dream of Ada, Countess of Lovelace in Victorian England, to today’s drives that hold the world’s information and empower the Internet. The book’s background reveals little known Silicon Valley startup company realities: the engineering “alligators” that arise in product manufacturing to devour sales and profits; the Silicon valley business competition model of simultaneous product design, sales and revenue; U.S. patent system shortcomings in protecting commodity electronics; fighting frivolous lawsuits; and U.S. tax policies that encourage employers to send manufacturing jobs to foreign lands, barely hinted at by U.S. government leaders. It’s also about my years at Caltech when double-Nobel winner Linus Pauling and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman were professors; about global nuclear winter dangers from a forgotten missile fleet; and finding God through the scientific method.More information at HardDriveTheNovel.comThe author has a PhD from Cal Tech and was made an IEEE Fellow for his part in developing the Grenex cobalt disc as described in the book.He is married with two children, does disc drive research at the University of California in San Diego, and holds a multiengine instrument rated FAA pilot licenseAbout the Author
Gordon Hughes began his career in the field of disk drive technology at Xerox Research, and later served as the Senior Director of Recording Technology at Seagate, in its early years. He is now a Project Scientist at the Center for Magnetic Recording Research at the University of California San Diego. The Institute of Electronic Engineers made Hughes an IEEE Fellow for his work on the Xenerg Cobalt disc, as described in the book.

Amazon.com ReviewHard Drive charts Gates’s missteps as well as his successes: the failure of OS/2 and the embarrassing delays in bringing Windows to the marketplace; the highly publicized split with IBM, which then forged an alliance with Apple to battle Microsoft; the public relations fallout over various exploits of Gates; and the investigations by the Federal Trade Commission. Wallace and Erickson also examine the combative, often abrasive side of Gates’s personality that has alienated many of Microsoft’s rivals and even employees, and led to his being labeled “The Silicon Bully” by Business Month Magazine. They report: In the early 80′s, Microsoft’s Multiplan lost out to Lotus 1-2-3 in the marketplace. According to one Microsoft programmer, a few of the key people working on DOS 2.0 had a saying at the time that “DOS isn’t done until Lotus won’t run.” They managed to code a few hidden bugs into DOS 2.0 that caused Lotus 1-2-3 to breakdown when it was loaded. “There were as few as three or four people who knew this was being done,” the employee said. He felt the highly competitive Gates was the ringleader. The first two female executives hired at Microsoft in 1985 were recruited to meet federal affirmative action guidelines so that the company could qualify for a lucrative Air Force contract. One source says,”They would say, ‘Well, let’s hire two women because we can pay them half as much as we will have to pay a man, and we can give them all this other crap work to do because they are women.’ That’s directly out of Bill’s mouth….” Gates treated one of these executives so badly that she asked to be transferred away from him. Microsoft managers used the company’s e-mail system to secretly spy on employee work habits. Only those employees who worked weekends could collect bonuses. In time word got out and some employees logged into their e-mail on weekends with a modem from home so it would appear they had come in.

From Publishers Weekly
In a biting biography and computer-industry expose, two Seattle Post-Intelligencer journalists here relate in dramatic detail how a moody, computer-dazzled prep-school whiz kid, a Harvard dropout at age 19, formed his own company, now Microsoft Inc., with a few friends. They developed and marketed in aggressive style a series of personal-computer software applications and operating systems, the phenomenal sales of which by some accounts have made 37-year-old William H. Gates Jr. the richest person in America. Alternately cooperating and competing with industry giants Apple, Xerox and IBM, “Chairman Bill” worked 20-hour days in Levis and loafers and relaxed by driving his Mercedes at speeds up to 150 mph, as Microsoft set industry standards in desktop-computer languages and programs. Driven and hard-driving, Gates has engendered admiration, envy, imitation, complaints of unfairness and an FTC investigation. $60,000 ad/promo; author tour.
