Next effort of the Non-Fiction Book Club.

Really enjoyed the TV series, and have been wanting to get around to reading the books for years. Here we go!

An easy read about dotcom entrepreneurship around the turn of the millennium, and the startup phase of Paypal as a company in particular. Certainly worth a read if the era interests you.

It's worth noting the story essentially only covers the Paypal years and events leading up to them, not the many exploits of the persons involved in the many years that have since passed.

I started the book over a year ago, but kept getting sidetracked with other reading. It was easy enough to get back into though.

Had to put this aside a couple of times for other reading commitments. Let’s see if I can finish it this time around.

To be honest, Elon Musk already occupies enough space in terms of news and attention that I’m somewhat reluctant to add more of him in my mind, but this is a different story, from a different era. So far I’m quite enjoying the book.

Well written and highly interesting, this book contains a wealth of information and insight that I will take with me both is parenting and in life. Highly recommended for anyone but parents of young kids in particular.

My wife wanted us to read this, then it was suggested in the non-fiction book club at work as our next read... with that kind of synergy, how can one resist? Seems promising, it flows well and the reasoning is clear, although the content itself is quite horrifying at times!

Took me a while to get into it, but once it got going, it really got going. Enjoyed it a lot in the end.
