Burn Book

A Tech Love Story by Kara Swisher

The book is a memoir and history of Silicon Valley, offering a witty, critical, and personal look at the tech industry’s most powerful figures and their impact, blending Swisher’s career with the rise of tech titans like Zuckerberg, Musk, and Bezos. Published in early 2024, the book is praised as a “highly readable… bawdy, brash, and compulsively thought-provoking” account that serves as a necessary chronicle of the digital age, exploring both the innovation and the failures of the industry. 

I found it took me back to my start in tech and reminded me of how much has changed in that short period of time.

I Grok it now…

A dear friend gave me this book over 30 years ago (when I was still an egg 😊). I finally got around to reading it and grok it in fullness now. I’m glad I didn’t try to read it back when he first gave it to me, as I don’t think I would’ve been able to grok some of Heinlein’s insight into the human condition that’s so prevalent in today’s society.

A very good book…👍
