The bio of Danny Lewin and Tom Leighton at MIT and more.\\xa0\\n\\nNo Better Time tells of a young, driven mathematical genius who wrote a set of algorithms that would create a faster, better Internet. It\\u2019s the story of a beautiful friendship between a loud, irreverent student and his soft-spoken MIT professor, of a husband and father who spent years struggling to make ends meet only to become a billionaire almost overnight with the success of Akamai Technologies, the Internet content delivery network he cofounded with his mentor.\\n\\nDanny Lewin\\u2019s brilliant but brief life is largely unknown because, until now, those closest to him have guarded their memories and quietly mourned their loss.
