INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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.
##The book is really entertaining and has the same flavor of sarcasm as the show 'Silicon Valley' Dan has produced. I like the way he viewed the bubbled start-up world from a different perspective. A lot of people who are deeply entrenched in this bubble enjo...
评分##回头看鄙司还是工程师主导的nerdy文化 感觉太幸运了。。
评分 评分##受害者自述。其中的一些遭遇,比如遭到上司排挤,因为社交媒体说错话惹麻烦,在其他公司也可能发生,不能全赖到创业公司头上。Dan看不惯的地方,一部分确实是创业公司独有的,一部分是因为Marketing就是这么一个领域。做记者做长了,就容易变得Cynical,所以很多做媒体的干脆最后就失业了。
评分##傻白苦左,吐槽王。。。营造的乱像颇有“华尔街之狼”之感
评分##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。
