New York Times bestselling author of The Everything Store Brad Stone takes us deep inside the new Silicon Valley. Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a strangerâ s car, or walking into a strangerâ s home, would have seemed bizarre and dangerous, but today itâ s as common as ordering a book online.
Readers will find plenty of food for thought in Brad Stone's The Upstarts, the most detailed investigation yet into the early years of these Silicon Valley prodigies. It's an entertaining and well-crafted account... a careful character portrait of both Uber and Airbnb. Read it and you will be able to judge them for yourself. FT
