Worth reading. Sure he's treated unfairly, but this dude is really smug about himself and is kind of an asshole.
評分這本書的作用確實讓人冷靜下來,看到創業公司的各種奇葩和瘋狂的行為。但為瞭創造戲劇性作者又太誇張瞭,一句話也要推測半天。結尾也是,明明自己不知道發生瞭什麼,一個勁的揣測。文筆作為新聞從業者一般吧,nyt平時的一些紀實文學比這本書的敘述功力好很多。
評分傻白苦左,吐槽王。。。營造的亂像頗有“華爾街之狼”之感
評分3.5星。裏麵的事情經曆瞭一些,非常贊同,但同時也一度非常厭煩有事沒事的抱怨和嘲諷。
評分受害者自述。其中的一些遭遇,比如遭到上司排擠,因為社交媒體說錯話惹麻煩,在其他公司也可能發生,不能全賴到創業公司頭上。Dan看不慣的地方,一部分確實是創業公司獨有的,一部分是因為Marketing就是這麼一個領域。做記者做長瞭,就容易變得Cynical,所以很多做媒體的乾脆最後就失業瞭。

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.
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...
