An unprecedented exploration of the remarkable rise and fall of Blackberry.

"In Losing the Signal, Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff tell the harrowing and riveting story of how we lost the connection to the BlackBerry, a communication device so innovative and addictive that it was known, among aficionados, as a CrackBerry. It's a tale of rivalries, jealousies, and missed opportunities. You won't be able to put it down." -- WILLIAM COHAN, author of House of Cards and Money and Power "In the tech industry, they say that you learn more from a failure than from a hit. Well, if that's true, Losing the Signal will give you a postdoctoral education. Reading the inside story of the BlackBerry's helpless flameout is like watching any other train wreck: You're horrified, but you can't look away." -- DAVID POGUE, author of Pogue's Basics and founder of Yahootech.com "Losing the Signal tells of the marriage and divorce of Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, how two opposites built RIM into a world-beater and how they lost it. This is first-class reporting that reads like a juicy novel, with one amazing story after another. A terrific book." -- HOWARD GREEN, author of Banking on America
