INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"Disrupted by Dan Lyons is the best book about Silicon Valley today."---Los Angeles Times
"Hysterical."---Kara Swisher, Recode
"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.
Dan Lyons is a novelist, journalist, and screenwriter. He is currently a co-producer and -writer for the HBO series Silicon Valley. Previously, Lyons was technology editor at Newsweek and the creator of the groundbreaking viral blog "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs" (AKA "Fake Steve Jobs"). Lyons has written for the New York Times Magazine, GQ, Vanity Fair, and Wired. He lives in Winchester, MA.
不光tech startup,現在很多小公司都這德行。思想境界不高卻很功利的年輕人當道的小企業的管理方式跟這很相似,洗腦,口是心非
評分Worth reading. Sure he's treated unfairly, but this dude is really smug about himself and is kind of an asshole.
評分audiobook版本 - 10% 對startup的觀察很有意思 + 10% 被迫害妄想癥 + 50% 辦公室政治 + 30% 一個新聞從業者試圖消化他的新環境並保持幽默感
評分amazon上評價超高,看瞭一點點,沒覺得entertaining,隻覺得是“受害者自述”。當然Hubspot有自己的問題,但是作者自己也在戴有色眼鏡(對Amazon Cloud的批評,對Facebook, Uber搜集數據的批評)
評分算是一個不在這個行業的人對創業公司的觀察。書中講的有些事情也算是大開眼界瞭。WTF Hubspot?不過作者在整本書中從始至終透露齣自認高人一等的感覺,not sure if I wanted to work with this guy……
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...

評分读后非常震撼。一开始以为是小说,越看越像真事,还说是作者写的好,写得像真事。看完后查了一下,就是美国上市公司Hubspot的真事。 作者52岁的时候以商业媒体记者的身份加入HubSpot,两年后2014年年底HubSpot上市,之后作者很快退出。本书是作者在此期间感受到的公司各种奇葩...
