In an article titled The Wizard, King, and Hobbit of Business, in Fast Company Magazine, Jim Collins "wanted to find an epic adventure of real people transformed by a hero's journey". He found only one. "It's the story of a father who builds an empire, a reluctant son who battles against his father before inheriting the empire and taking it to greatness, and a stranger who shows up in the nick of time to save all that the father and son built. It's a story that spans nine decades and is enmeshed in the sweep of history, from World War I through the Great Depression, World War II, the rise of America, the go-go 1960s, the technology explosion, and the dawn of a new post-September 11 world. The trilogy of IBM--three extraordinary books, each composed by a different author--is populated by characters as bold and daring and ultimately flawed as any in literature, beginning with a fascinating individual who, in middle age, found his life and career shattered."
