Dan Lyons is an author, journalist, and screenwriter. He has co-produced and written for the HBO series Silicon Valley, was technology editor at Newsweek and was the creator of the groundbreaking viral blog 'The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs' (AKA 'Fake Steve Jobs').
Fascinating, thought-provoking, hilarious and sometimes
harrowing.
*Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project*
A lively and spirited takedown... Its core argument is surely
irrefutable.
*Guardian*
Entertaining
*The Economist*
Lyons is very funny journalist... Much of his polemic rings
true.
*FT*
Lab Rats defies easy description. I sputtered laughing and choked
crying (literally, not figuratively) as I read it. Yes, Lyons gives
Silicon Valley the thrashing that it, alas, largely deserves. But
in the final third of the book, he offers us an effectively
illustrated way out - an approach to work and business that puts
people first.
*Tom Peters, bestselling author of In Search of Excellence*
Entertaining... A worthwhile and disturbing read.
*Sunday Business Post*
Funny and frightening.
*The Sunday Post*
Skewering corporate jargon, management science and, worst of all,
enforced fun, Lyons' waggish jeremiad lays out how the world of
work has changed for the worse.
*Tatler*
Laugh-out-loud funny
*Newsweek on DISRUPTED*
