Very enjoyable book.By Christian BoyceMore than 100 photographs documenting Silicon Valleys rise; all in black and white. Features many of the famous key players of the time; and also those whose contributions did not receive the attention they deserved. Steve Jobs is there; of course; (the beginning of the book is devoted to the creation and launch of the NeXT computer); as are Marc Andreesen; Steve Capps; Susan Kare; John Warnock; Clement Mok; Ross Perot; and even President Clinton. Far from "glamour shots;" these photos capture non-posed reality; with all of the intensity; exhilaration; and exhaustion that was everyday life for those who sought to change the world. Menuezs captions; and especially his thoughtful assessment of the evolution of the industry; are valuable additions. I enjoyed this book very much.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. (Mostly) Great Photographs Capturing a Special Time; Place; and IntentBy David KopecA talented photographer is given unprecedented access to Silicon Valleys otherwise paranoid-about-secrecy young companies and this book is what ensues. Menuez tries to tell a cohesive story about a time and place that transcends any individual company; and he largely succeeds. However; I would argue that some of the artistic choices made were not particularly valuable. Out of the 250;000 photos he took; some of Menuezs choices for the book of about 250 seem bizarre. Sure; empty Chinese food take-out cartons tell a story; but a story worth printing full page?None the less; this book is an enjoyable; quick read (about 2-3 hours of careful study); and some of the photographs of Steve Jobs in particular; are spectacular. I would not recommend this book as first introduction to the story of Silicon Valley; but its certainly an excellent additive piece.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Candid photos that are awe inspiringBy FroKnowsPhoto[[VIDEOID:86e2131dc399641ec550b4a076c7d1d]] http://froknowsphoto.com/bookshelf-fearless-genius/ click here to learn more about this book.Isnt all access what we all want? I know I love getting all access to places that other photographers dont get access to. The one thing you never will mow until a much later time is if you have all access to history.In this case Photographer Doug Menuez worked his way in to get all ACCESS to some of the tech visionaries of our time. He was there with Steve Jobs as he started NEXT; he was there with Intel founders as well as many other companies that we all know by name today.When I looked at the photos in "Fearless Genius" I sit there in awe of the access and history that he made with his images. I get asked all the time what inspires me or what do I do when I am in a photographic rut? The simple answer is I look at photo books and instantly find inspiration.
