Samuel Jerrold "Jerry" Kaplan (born March 25, 1952) is an American computer scientist, author, futurist, and serial entrepreneur. He is best known as a pioneer in the field of pen computing and tablet computers. He is the founder of numerous companies, including GO Corporation, whose technology was used to develop the first smartphone and tablet PC. Kaplan is the co-founder of OnSale, the first B2C online auction site launched in 1994, five months prior to . He is a recipient of the 1998 Ernst & Young Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year Award and author of the best-selling book Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure. He has been featured in major news publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Red Herring, and Bloomberg Businessweek. Kaplan is also the author of the 2015 book Humans Need Not Apply: A Guide to Wealth and Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Additional companies he has co-founded include artificial intelligence company Teknowledge, Inc. and social game website Winster. Kaplan is currently a Fellow at the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics. Jerry Kaplan, a well-known figure in the computer industry, founded GO Corporation in 1987, and for several years it was one of the hottest new ventures in the Valley. This book tells the story of Kaplan's wild ride: how he assembled a brilliant but fractious team of engineers, software designers, and investors; pioneered the emerging market for hand-held computers operated with a pen instead of a keyboard; and careened from crisis to crisis without ever losing his passion for a revolutionary idea. Derived from a Kirkus review: Kaplan, the intrepid founder of a company that was devoted, in every sense of the word, to a new kind of computer, chronicles his hazardous adventures in darkest Silicon Valley. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but will it beat a computer keyboard? Starting with the notion that a penpoint, rather than a keyboard, is the way to bring zillions of new users to computers, Kaplan (who was trained in computational linguistics) brings us along for the startup of a corporation called GO, which intended to develop a new breed of hand-held computer. We go along with the byzantine business contortions needed to attract regular infusions of capital. Upwards of $75 million was spent. The product never sold. The venture capitalists who supplied much of the money were not a bad bunch, but the business partners exercised their inherent rights, too, and many of the rights were conflicting. Lenders squeezed, suppliers defaulted. Mitchell Kapor of Lotus was skittish, John Sculley of Apple was fractious, and Bill Gates of Microsoft was intractable. Of course, as the odds would have it, GO stopped. The structure that Kaplan built, with his team of dedicated young colleagues, finally imploded for a number of reasons. Foremost, surely: Nobody really wanted a portable computer driven by handwriting; that, and being beset by the big boys. For the industry, it's not an unusual tale, but Kaplan tells it with style replete with races against the clock and sharp character sketches. There are human touches, like the death of the author's father and his too-cute marriage proposal (using a computer, of course). An insider's well-written story of the death of a new machine, probably composed on a keyboard.

Jerry Kaplan had a dream: he would redefine the known universe (and get very rich) by creating a new kind of computer. All he needed was sixty million dollars, a few hundred employees, a maniacal belief in his ability to win the Silicon Valley startup game.
