Michael S. Malone grew up in Silicon Valley and joined the San Jose Mercury News as one of the nation's first daily high-tech reporters.

His book, Infinite Loop, is the inside story of how one of America's most beloved companies - Apple Computer - took off like a high-tech rocket, only to come crashing to Earth twenty years later.

Malone has written for The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and other national publications. He is currently editor of Forbes ASAP, as well as a contributor to Upside and Fast Company magazines.

Among his books are The Big Score, The Virtual Corporation and Intellectual Capital.

He also hosts Malone, an interview series now in its ninth season on public television.
