Description

From award-winning journalist Kara Swisher comes a witty, scathing, but fair accounting of the tech industry and its founders who wanted to change the world but broke it instead.

While tech titans bragged they would ''move fast and break things'', Kara Swisher was moving faster and breaking news. Covering the explosion of the digital sector in the early 1990s, she developed a long track record of digging up and reporting the truth of this new world order. Her consistent scoops drove one CEO to accuse her of listening in the heating ducts and for Facebook''s Sheryl Sandberg to once say: ''It is a constant joke in the Valley when people write memos for them to say, I hope Kara never sees this.''

Burn Book is part memoir, part history and, most of all, a necessary recounting of tech''s most powerful players. This is the inside story we''ve all been waiting for of modern Silicon Valley and the biggest boom in wealth creation in the history of the world.
