"Crossing the Chasm" by Geoffrey A. Moore provides a framework for marketing and selling disruptive high-tech products to mainstream customers.

Moore outlines "crossing the chasm" strategies by focusing on a specific niche market, developing a "whole product" solution, and building strategic partnerships. The text details the characteristics of different customer segments in the technology adoption lifecycle and how to tailor marketing efforts to each. Ultimately, the book offers guidance for technology companies to achieve mainstream market success by understanding and overcoming the challenges of this critical transition period.
