INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Wildly entertaining."---Ashlee Vance, New York Times-bestselling author of Elon Musk
For twenty-five years Dan Lyons was a magazine writer at the top of his profession--until one Friday morning when he received a phone call: Poof. His job no longer existed. "I think they just want to hire younger people," his boss at Newsweek told him. Fifty years old and with a wife and two young kids, Dan was, in a word, screwed. Then an idea hit. Dan had long reported on Silicon Valley and the tech explosion. Why not join it? HubSpot, a Boston start-up, was flush with $100 million in venture capital. They offered Dan a pile of stock options for the vague role of "marketing fellow." What could go wrong?
HubSpotters were true believers: They were making the world a better place ... by selling email spam. The office vibe was frat house meets cult compound: The party began at four thirty on Friday and lasted well into the night; "shower pods" became hook-up dens; a push-up club met at noon in the lobby, while nearby, in the "content factory," Nerf gun fights raged. Groups went on "walking meetings," and Dan's absentee boss sent cryptic emails about employees who had "graduated" (read: been fired). In the middle of all this was Dan, exactly twice the age of the average HubSpot employee, and literally old enough to be the father of most of his co-workers, sitting at his desk on his bouncy-ball "chair."
Mixed in with Lyons's uproarious tale of his rise and fall at Hubspot is a trenchant analysis of the start-up world, a de facto conspiracy between those who start companies and those who fund them, a world where bad ideas are rewarded with hefty investments, where companies blow money lavishing perks on their post-collegiate workforces, and where everybody is trying to hang on just long enough to reach an IPO and cash out.
With a cast of characters that includes devilish angel investors, fad-chasing venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and "wantrapreneurs," bloggers and brogrammers, social climbers and sociopaths, Disrupted is a gripping and definitive account of life in the (second) tech bubble.

Disrupted 下载 mobi epub pdf 电子书##的确揭露了一些entrepreneurship式管理的问题。但是作者在半百从新闻记者到startup marketing部门的背景也使他很难适应这种新式企业文化吧,过多complaint。
评分 评分##59% read and I can't stand with it any longer. Bitching and bitching, endless bitching. Full of bias, ignorance and anger. Too many meaningless personal details and very limited insights on tech startups. 4.5 stars on Amazon? Come on, show me the demographic data please...

评分##太棒了,真实的矽谷新创世界,非看不可 如果早十年或者早五年拿到这本书就好了,这样我就可以把书摔在画大饼的老板脸上,让他亲手把他的虚伪一口口吞下去。 身在北京时,常有一种融入时代的错觉,你穿过雾霾,来到地铁站,钻入灰头土脸的上班人群之中,隔壁的小哥张口就是A轮融资、B轮融资,周末下午,你来到一间咖啡...
