Its called The Little Kingdom and it looks like a really good read. The best blurb that I have heard about his style is from the English Guardian which says; "Michael Moritz has a few simple rules for investing in internet start-ups: look for people who are pursuing their own ideas for doing something better; prefer youth to maturity; ignore business plans looking a few years ahead; and avoid anyone wearing Armani T-shirts, loafers with no socks or who uses words like 'synergy', 'no-brainer' or 'slam-dunk'." That cracks me up!! Here is that article in full; http://observer.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,,1922618,00.html NIce networking Noah,
