I couldn't speak any more highly of Steven Levy's writing as well. He wrote a story for Newsweek during our batch: http://www.newsweek.com/2007/05/20/meet-the-next-billionaire...

The feeling was very similar. Having experienced all of the time he put into it, how he listened to all of our seemingly pedestrian stories and masterfully wove an eloquent story line out of mere tidbits -- it's a pretty awesome experience.

He's one of the best writers around and one of the last bastions of true, old-fashioned journalism in the tech world.
