No Better Time by Molly Raskin
One part A Beautiful Mind, one part The Accidental Billionaires, the extraordinary story of a young genius whose pioneering work not only transformed the internet, but made him a billionaire overnight- and how a life cut tragically short can still leave behind a powerful and lasting legacy.
Kirkus Reviews, 8/1/13 "Bittersweet but celebratory" Booklist, 9/1/13 "Little-known but thoroughly captivating life story... A superlatively written and well-deserved tribute to an overlooked internet pioneer and true American hero." Tablet Magazine, 9/11/13 "[A] terrific new biography." Winnipeg Free Press, 9/9/13 "No Better Time is the chronicle of a man who gave his life to technology and gave his life for mankind." The Daily Beast, 9/17/13 "This is Lewin's fascinating biography, but it is also a history of the Internet, and those who took it from clunky dial-up service to the speed-of-light marvel. It is also the story of the September 11 attacks themselves, and how they ground the exuberance of the 1990s to a halt. Raskin has meticulously reconstructed the buoyancy of the '90s dot-com boom, and her restraint in covering the attacks lends a sober poignancy to Lewin's story."
