Dealers of Lightning

**Dealers of Lightning** explores the fascinating history of Xerox PARC, the 1970s-80s research lab that invented the personal computer, laser printer, and graphical interface. Despite creating these revolutionary technologies, Xerox famously rejected them, only for the inventors to later turn their ideas into empires that reshaped modern life. Drawing on extensive interviews, this book details PARC's groundbreaking achievements and the corporate decisions that prevented Xerox from capitalizing on its own genius, offering a compelling look at a pivotal moment in technological innovation.
