Query: Still timely in 2009

This is, broadly speaking, the story of Silicon Valley in the late '90s: The utopian promises it failed to keep, and the smaller ones it did. The book maps out the absurd (in hindsight) optimism of the period, fleshing it out with enlightening anecdotes and explaining what went wrong.This was required for a graduate-level course I took just this year, and despite its age, the book is still fresh, lively and insightful. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially to those trying to manage, launch or just survive in a 21st-century tech company.
