    Description

    An instant New York Times best seller, Dan Lyons' "hysterical" (Recode) memoir, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "the best book about Silicon Valley," takes listeners inside the maddening world of fad-chasing venture capitalists, sales bros, social climbers, and sociopaths at today's tech startups.

    For 25 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".

    Sillicon Valley seen by a paranoid narcissist

    Well, the author is a journalist who tells the story of his 3 year work in a start up company in Sillicon Valley. Maybe what he tells about the extravagant and surrealistic atmosphere of the company is correct, however, his point of view has a lot of bias:
    - Throught the story he considers himselve absolutely above everyone, I came to the conclusion that he has a narcissistic personality disorder.
    - Throught the story you also see that he has always the impression that people thinking badly of him, so I cam to the conclusion also that he has a paranoid personality disorder,
    - Throughout the story you also observe that he doesn't have any empathy with other people and has actually a treasonous behaviour toward people who help him and who are empathic with him, so I cam to the concusion that he has anti social personality disorder,
    I really regret having heard his book and wasted my time on hearing what I believe is not at all a reality.

    My only takaway from this book is to be very cautious and not to recruit this kind of guy or to dismiss them as soon as I identify one.
