Idea Man by Paul Allen

I just read Idea Man by Paul Allen. It offers his view of launching Microsoft and some insights into Bill Gates. It also covers buying 2 sports teams - Blazers and Seahawks and building a new stadium in Seattle. One chapter covers building a team and partnering with Burt Rutan to win the private space race and $10mil for the first ship to reach space twice (62 miles high) in 5 days. It chronicles the story of his guitar playing and passion for launching Hendrix & EMP music museum in Seattle. He invested in Dreamworks with the big 3 in Hollywood. He also has launched a Brain Research Institute in Washington state. He evens reviews how he lost $8bil in the cable business. It clearly has some interesting insights intermixed with a very big ego.
