Dan Lyons is a novelist, journalist, and screenwriter. He is currently a co-producer and writer for the HBO series Silicon Valley. Previously, Lyons was technology editor at Newsweek and the creator of the groundbreaking viral blog "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs" (AKA "Fake Steve Jobs").
Lyons finds the right company, if only for the raw material that
he, a seasoned satirist, spins into gold... But the book is not
just a chronicle of the tech bubble's silly quirks... Lyons uses
the lens of his growing disillusionment to focus on a broader
critique of Silicon Valley.
*Financial Times*
'Simultaneously hilarious and terrifying'
*LA Times*
Wildly entertaining... Disrupted explores the ways in which many
technology companies have come to fool the public and themselves.
Lyons has injected a dose of sanity into a world gone mad.
*Ashlee Vance, Sunday Times bestselling author of Elon Musk*
'Laugh-out-loud funny.'
*Newsweek*
Fun, compulsively readable and just might tell us something
important about the hypocrisy and cult-like fervor inside today's
technology giants.
*Brad Stone, Author of The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age
of Amazon*
Scathingly funny . . . Like the show Silicon Valley, Disrupted
nails the workings of spastic, hypocritical, delusional tech
culture.
*New York Post*
'A hugely entertaining insider view of the vainglorious world of
tech, yet it is also an important rumination on the values of our
age.'
*Irish Times*
'This humorous and well-crafted memoir is part of a proud literary
tradition: the disgruntled ex-employee tell-all.'
*Harvard Business Review*
Dan Lyons goes deep inside a company that uses terms like 'world
class marketing thought leaders' to show us how ridiculous,
wasteful, and infantile tech start-ups like this can be. And best
of all, Lyons does this with his trademark pejorative and hilarious
tone.
