From the award-winning journalist Kara Swisher comes a witty, stern yet fair account of the tech industry and its founders, who wanted to change the world but ultimately destroyed it.

The tech giants advertised that they would 'move fast and break things,' but Kara Swisher moved even faster and broke news. Covering the explosion of the digital sector in the late '90s, she developed a solid reputation for uncovering and presenting the truth of this new world order.

"Burn Book" is part autobiography, part history, and above all, a necessary review of the most powerful players in technology. This is the insider story we've been waiting for about Modern Silicon Valley and the greatest wealth increase in world history.

Before she even completed her studies in college, Swisher started at the Washington Post, where she became one of the few journalists interested in the emerging tech sector. She was among the first to recognize the potential of the internet, accurately predicting that 'everything that could be digitized, would be digitized.'

Swisher has interviewed nearly everyone from Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Despite the damage she depicts, she remains optimistic about technology's ability to help solve problems and not just create them.

"Burn Book" includes exceptional narratives and brilliant entrepreneurs, as well as the complex history of Silicon Valley with its successes and failures. The book describes how the commercial internet was born and how, despite everything it has offered the world, it is now at the center of global power, creating an apparent and immediate danger to humanity.
