Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble by Dan Lyons
2.0
I really wish we could give half stars because I REALLY want to give it 2.5stars.
Firstly, the good side, Daniel Lyon's makes some good points about the tech industry, especially the issues with these unicorn businesses that make no money yet have wild valuations. His points of the sexism, racism and ageism within the industry is a problem, I worked with the tech industry for a year, but this also isn't JUST a tech industry issue, it's still a society issue within the 'prestigious' industry's. it's obvious but also know after working in journalism for a few months, it's very much an 'old boys club'.
The bad side, I 100% believe the writer is an arsehole to work with and is so far up his own that he can't see this. The ageism is shocking when it happens to him but he mentions how young everyone is all the time and how are they in the position they are. At lot of what he explains he did during his time at Hubstop is horrendous and not surprised they tried to push him out for months.
All you're going to get from this book is one guy complaining how victimized he is rather than anything to do with the tech industry as a whole.
