Live Work Work Work Die: A Journey Into the Savage Heart of Silicon Valley by Corey Pein

3.0

The author Corey Pein details his attempts to create a startup in Silicon Valley. I found this book to be a little frustrating as the author essentially seemed to rock up to Silicon Valley with no plan besides become a billionaire by creating the next big website. The book essentially tries to convince us of the evils of the industry by describing his own misadventures. While he did have some valid criticisms ( the rent market, the financers who talk a load of rubbish, the misogyny and racism in some areas of the industry) the whole thing was tainted for me by just how utterly unprepared the author was to try to jump start a new career.
