pickSwisher 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.
pickUnputdownable journalistic memoir with loads of insight into the tech industry and a very low tolerance for bro culture and BS
pickPart 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.
pickThis was such a fun and empowering story!
I love fashion and I grew up in the Silicon Valley so naturally I loved the premise and thought it was executed well. The portrayal of the fashion industry and the tech industry felt current and tackled issues commonly seen in today‘s world (for example, influencers photoshopping their photos before posting them).

The ‘hound is ready to get this show on the road NOW PLEASE!!!
I‘m doing the print and audio versions of the appalling saga of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. I‘ve already seen the documentary series and the drama series but I‘m still hooked by this story.

pickBill Gates said: “Bad Blood tackles some serious ethical questions, but it is ultimately a thriller with a tragic ending. It‘s a fun read full of bizarre details that will make you gasp out loud,”. It also serves as a testament to the power and importance of unbiased investigative journalism. It had my jaw dropping and my tongue wagging for days, and I highly recommend it. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/bad-blood-john-carreyrou/
One of my most recommended nf books of the past few years; I just noticed that Holmes was sentenced today:

pickThoroughly enjoyed this! Good writing, clear and precise, and the story basically tells itself in all its horrifying details. Topped with a little morbid fascination to see footage of her (and her voice) on YouTube to complete the experience. The psychology behind her ability to string along so many powerful people is fascinating! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have consumed everything I can about the story of Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos, and her defrauding of her investors. Carreyrou‘s reporting on this case is excellent. #scarathlondailyprompts #lies #teamslaughter
Just started watching The Dropout on Hulu and thought I would read this book. The story about Elizabeth Holmes and Thernos is fascinated and baffling. It baffles me that anyone believed her, but apparently she was very charismatic and persuasive. I feel for all the people who were misdiagnosed by her company‘s blood testing.
