Antonio García Martínez has been an advisor to Twitter, a product manager for Facebook, the CEO/founder of AdGrok (a venture-backed startup acquired by Twitter), and a strategist for Goldman Sachs. He lives on a forty-foot sailboat on the San Francisco Bay.
Imagine a chimpanzee rampaging through a data center powering everything from Google to Facebook. Infrastructure engineers use a software version of this “chaos monkey” to test online services’ robustness—their ability to survive random failure and correct mistakes before they actually occur. Tech entrepreneurs are society’s chaos monkeys, disruptors testing and transforming every aspect of our lives, from transportation (Uber) and lodging (Airbnb) to television (Netflix) and dating (Tinder). One of Silicon Valley’s most provocative chaos monkeys is Antonio García Martínez.
After stints on Wall Street and as CEO of his own startup, García Martínez joined Facebook’s nascent advertising team, turning its users’ data into profit for COO Sheryl Sandberg and Chairman and CEO Mark “Zuck” Zuckerberg. Forced out in the wake of an internal product war over the future of the company’s monetization strategy, García Martínez eventually landed at rival Twitter. He also fathered two children with a woman he barely knew, brewed illegal beer on the Facebook campus (accidentally flooding Zuckerberg’s desk), lived on a sailboat, raced sports cars on the 101, and enthusiastically pursued the life of an overpaid Silicon Valley cad.
Now this gleeful contrarian unravels the chaotic evolution of social media and online marketing and reveals how it is invading our lives and shaping our future. Weighing in on everything from startups and credit derivatives to Big Brother and data tracking, social media monetization, and digital “privacy,” García Martínez shares his scathing observations and outrageous antics, taking us on a humorous, subversive tour of the fascinatingly insular tech industry. Chaos Monkeys lays bare the hijinks, trade secrets, and power plays of the visionaries, grunts, sociopaths, opportunists, accidental tourists, and money cowboys who are revolutionizing our world. The question is, how will we survive?
The reality is, Silicon Valley capitalism is very simple: Investors are people with more money than time. Employees are people with more time than money. Entrepreneurs are simply the seductive go-between.
Startups are business experiments performed with other people’s money. Marketing is like sex: only losers pay for it.

评分作者是一个极其自恋,毫无道德底线的小人。他对任何人,我是说任何人,从乔布斯,比尔盖茨,到为他生了两个孩子的女人,都毫无尊重。在他看来,全世界都欠他的,只有他没错。他连自己创业公司的合伙人都敢出卖,还振振有词地说自己是为他们好。以本人长期在高技术行业工作的经...
评分一本神书。刚开始看的时候,以为作者只是一个硅谷的智者,无情且相对客观的嘲讽互联网广告产品的本质;看到后面发现作者骨子里是一个真正的产品经理,有自己坚信的方向以及为了这个方向奋战到底的驱动力;与此相比,那些硅谷科技公司里面很多看似位居高位的成功人士不值一哂。...

评分Not the average book as Startup 101 or How-to,kind of the reality show about the startups/VCs and work-life in Silicon Valley. Besides, as an ads guy from the technology and business side, give readers ideas how ads works in the digital world, esp. on how t...

评分好暴躁哦作者
评分Such a noisy man voice for the whole book.
评分3.5星吧,自己絮絮叨叨和生活细节、不断引经据典、以及FB的工作都不怎么有趣,有些吐槽和反省、自己创业经历、收入部分倒还是不错
