It tells a story full of machinations and coups, simply captivating. The ULTIMATE 21ST CENTURY BUSINESS STORY. Since 2006, Twitter has evolved from an unintended side activity of a failed web startup into a global icon that by 2013 had become an $11.5 billion business. But the full story of Twitter's birth has never been told before. In his revealing new book, New York Times journalist Nick Bilton takes us behind the scenes of Twitter as it grew exponentially, and into the minds of the four "hackers" who created it: the ambitious millionaire Evan Williams, the tattooed master Jack Dorsey, the funny and diplomatic Biz Stone, and Noah Glass, the shy but energetic "geek" who invested his whole life into Twitter only to be fired and erased from the company's official history.

Combining unprecedented access with exhaustive investigative journalism and drawing on hundreds of sources, documents, and internal emails, the New York Times bestseller HATCHING TWITTER is a whirlwind drama of friends betrayed and power struggles. A business story like no other, it will shock, reveal, and inspire.
