The TRON Project: How Japan almost ruled IT (2022)
It feels like every country (that is not the US) has a legend about how the X company could have been the next Apple&#x2F;IBM&#x2F;Microsoft if it weren&#x27;t for evil&#x2F;corrupt&#x2F;incompetent politicians. Usually these stories fall apart on closer inspection.<p>Not surprisingly, this story doesn&#x27;t pass my smell test either. It&#x27;s very light on details. It also talks a lot about the thoughts in Bill Gates&#x27; head, but fails to provide any quotes to back them up.
