So, you'd think a multi-billionaire would have some great insights on start-ups or some fun tech bubble experiences to share. There were some glimmers, but nope, this is not that book. This book reeks of a nerd trying to portray himself off as a renaissance man. Being able to codify experience into theories can be a difficult mental feat, but for those theories to be of value to others or be useful in predicting future events is quite another. There are three reviews printed on the book from Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, all very misleading. I think less of them now. This book will continue to get praise from idiots who glorify the wealthy and the successful. For those of us seeking knowledge, let's hope he writes another one about his experiences. Also, he probably won't do it, but it'd really be fun for us outsiders if he shared his insider experience in the tech/start-up sector. But alas, that'd bring the gods down to our human level.
