A visit to the fantasy world of Ian Livingstone

Article Abstract:

It was initially very challenging to make Games Workshop into a viable business venture, according to Ian Livingstone. The company's success came initially with the Fighting Fantasy series of role-playing gamebooks for children, produced in 1982. This series has sold more than 14 million copies in 23 languages. After selling Games Workshop in 1991, Livingstone became involved in a number of other ventures, and in 1996 purchased games development company Core. This led to the creation of Lara Croft, the heroine of the Tomb Raider series of adventure/slasher games.

Success? It's the name of his game

Article Abstract:

Silicon Valley remains the centre of technology, and it can be hard to form relationships from outside this area, according to Centraal Corp founder and CEO Keith Teare. He grew up in the UK and began his working life there, but chose to locate Centraal in Silicon Valley, where it is also easier to obtain venture capital. He enjoys the strong sense of openness and freedom in Silicon Valley, and believes that it is actually difficult for Americans to be dishonest. He feels that it would not have been possible to set up Centraal in the UK.

The digital life of Esther Dyson

Article Abstract:

The Internet itself is merely a medium, but the people using the Internet have considerable potential, according to Esther Dyson, founder of EDventure Holdings. She believes that her power lies in making people see things, rather than in making them do things. She has great faith in her ability to influence things, and this is part of the reason for her success. She rejects claims that she is cold and intellectual with no human feelings, but acknowledges that ideas have always been the greatest love of her life.
