Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble by Dan Lyons
3.0
I picked this one up because one of the local librarians at my library recommended it at a digital book speed dating event they held a few weeks ago. I would have never picked this book up if it weren't for her great description of it. (Great job, Beth!)
This book was really interesting to me. This older white man goes into a situation where the structure isn't made out for him and he starts to realize how frustrating the world can be when it's not cut out for you. I learned a lot about the tech industry and I think that he made some really great points. However, I just can't get over the idea that there are people who feel this way every single day and they don't get books deals. I validate what he was feeling and all the experiences that he went through. However, I was hyper-aware that he could quit his job and things would go back to normal. There are lots of people who don't have that privilege. This book got me thinking A LOT.
