I give this two stars because its subject is interesting. A book about the narcissist of the tech industry. What‘s not enjoyable is the author is as narcissistic as the people she‘s writing about. The book seems to be a tribute to the wonderfulness of Kara Swisher who is always right. She seems to have the impression that she has some influence over the decisions the tech giants make. lost count of the “me‘s” and “I‘s”. All hail Kara Swisher.

Swisher recounts her professional journalism career reporting on tech and tech giants that matches the swagger that is needed to go ego to ego in covering them. Mostly recaps of events and interviews. Jobs is painted well; Musk is taken down. Interesting points on tech.

Unputdownable journalistic memoir with loads of insight into the tech industry and a very low tolerance for bro culture and BS

Part memoir and part illuminating tales from the technology world and its leaders, by award winning journalist Kara Swisher. I loved her insights, entrepreneurial spirit and ability to call out powerful people.
