Does anyone know of any books of other resources that contain similar insights or show the history/inner-workings of big tech companies?
Some good examples I've come across in the past include:
- The One Device - Show Stoppers!
Bad Blood - John Carreyrou
How to Turn Down a Billion Dollars: The Snapchat Story - Billy Gallagher
Billion Dollar Loser: The Epic Rise and Spectacular Fall of Adam Neumann and WeWork - Reeves Wiedeman
Whistleblower: My Unlikely Journey to Silicon Valley and Speaking Out Against Injustice - Susan Fowler
Uncanny Valley - Anna Wiener
What Tech Calls Thinking: An Inquiry Into the Intellectual Bedrock of Silicon Valley - Adrian Daub
The Scapegoat - René Girard
She wrote a book called "Lurking: How a Person Became a User" that is really interesting and explores the internet from the POV of the user.
This is more about the origins of the tech industry so a little older focus, but still had some cool stuff.
