Disrupted : ludicrous misadventures in the tech start-up bubble
Lyons, Daniel, 1960-2017
Books, Manuscripts
Dan Lyons was Technology Editor at 'Newsweek Magazine' for years, a magazine writer at the top of his profession. One Friday morning he received a phone call: his job no longer existed. 50-years-old and with a wife and two young kids, Dan was unemployed and facing financial oblivion. 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 nebulous role of 'marketing fellow'. What could possibly go wrong? 'Disrupted' is Dan's hilarious and excoriating account of the start-up and a revealing window onto the dysfunctional culture that prevails in a world flush with cash and devoid of experience.
