'Exposes the full madness of WeWork.' Sunday Times

In its earliest days, WeWork promised the impossible: to make the workplace exciting. Adam Neumann, an immigrant who decided to make his fortune in the United States, came up with the idea of repurposing the surplus office space in New York for the burgeoning freelance market.

Over ten years, WeWork acquired billions of dollars from some of the world's most sought-after investors, spending it to build a global real estate empire.

Based on more than two hundred interviews, Billion Dollar Loser chronicles the speed with which WeWork's CEO built up his company. Culminating in a day-by-day account of the five weeks leading up to WeWork's failed IPO and Neumann's dramatic ousting, Reeves Wiedeman reveals the story of the company's desperate effort to secure the funding it needed in the final moments of a decade defined by excess.

With incredible access and incisive writing on the company, Billion Dollar Loser tells the complete inside story of WeWork and its CEO Adam Neumann, who together came to represent the boldest and most unlikely rise and fall in the business world.
