Kara Swisher
À propos de cet audio
From award-winning journalist Kara Swisher comes a witty, scathing, but fair accounting of the tech industry and its founders who wanted to change the world but broke it instead.
“Swisher, the bad-ass journalist and OG chronicler of Silicon Valley…takes no prisoners in this highly readable look at the evolution of the digital world…Bawdy, brash, and compulsively thought-provoking, just like its author, Burn Book sizzles” (Booklist, starred review).
Part memoir, part history, Burn Book is a necessary chronicle of tech’s most powerful players. From “the queen of all media” (Walt Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal), this is the inside story we’ve all been waiting for about modern Silicon Valley and the biggest boom in wealth creation in the history of the world.
When tech titans crowed that they would “move fast and break things,” Kara Swisher was moving faster and breaking news. While covering the explosion of the digital sector in the early 1990s, she developed a long track record of digging up and reporting the facts about this new world order. Her consistent scoops drove one CEO to accuse her of “listening in the heating ducts” and prompted Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg to once observe: “It is a constant joke in the Valley when people write memos for them to say, ‘I hope Kara never sees this.’”
While still in college, Swisher got her start at The Washington Post, where she became one of the few people in journalism interested in covering the nascent Internet. She went on to work for The Wall Street Journal, joining with Walt Mossberg to start the groundbreaking D: All Things Digital conference, as well as pioneering tech news sites.
Swisher has interviewed everyone who matters in tech over three decades, right when they presided over an explosion of world-changing innovation that has both helped and hurt our world. Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Sheryl Sandberg, Bob Iger, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Meg Whitman, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, and Mark Zuckerberg are just a few whom Swisher made sweat—figuratively and, in Zuckerberg’s case, literally.
Despite the damage she chronicles, Swisher remains optimistic about tech’s potential to help solve problems and not just create them. She calls upon the industry to make better, more thoughtful choices, even as a new set of powerful AI tools are poised to change the world yet again. At its heart, this book is a love story to, for, and about tech from someone who knows it better than anyone.©2024 Kara Swisher (P)2024 Simon & Schuster Audio

Today’s workers have more opportunities and mobility than any generation before. They also face unprecedented challenges, including inflation, labor and housing shortages, and climate volatility. Even the notion of retirement is undergoing a profound rethink, as our lifespans extend and our relationship with work evolves. In this environment, the tried-and-true financial advice our parents followed is no longer enough. It’s time for a new playbook. In The Algebra of Wealth, Galloway lays bare the rules of financial success in today's economy.

The billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become inextricable from the social media platform that until 2023 was known as Twitter. Started in the mid-2000s as a playful microblogging platform, Twitter quickly became a vital nexus of global politics, culture, and media—where the retweet button could instantly catapult any idea to hundreds of millions of screens around the world, unleashing raw collective emotion like nothing else before.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

In the 1970s, Washington’s center of power began to shift away from elected officials in big marble buildings to a handful of savvy, handsomely paid operators who didn’t answer to any fixed constituency. The cigar-chomping son of an influential congressman, an illustrious political fixer with a weakness for modern art, a Watergate-era dirty trickster, the city’s favorite cocktail party host—these were the sort of men who now ran Washington.

Disinformation is designed to evoke a strong emotional response to push us toward more extreme views, unable to find common ground with others.

When celebrity chef Mario Batali sent out an apology letter for the sexual harassment allegations made against him, he had the gall to include a recipe—for cinnamon rolls, of all things. Geraldine DeRuiter decided to make the recipe, and she happened to make food journalism history along with it. Her subsequent essay, with its scathing commentary about the pervasiveness of misogyny in the food world, would be read millions of times. In If You Can’t Take the Heat, DeRuiter shares stories about her shockingly true, painfully funny (and sometimes just painful) adventures in gastronomy.

Posadzki takes us inside a company that touches the lives of millions of Canadians, challenging what we thought we knew about corporate governance and who really holds the power.

A surprising love story for technology
Kara writes as a reporter who loves technology but rightly fears it as well. She personalizes it as any good biographer should but temporizes it as a reporter by good questions. She leaves it unfinished as it should be and a reader/listener looks forward to her future works. Great story of our miraculous times. Hank you Kara!

Nothing burger and entertaining at the same time
If you are reader like me, who has followed Kara and Scott for many years, reading their articles, listening to conferences and podcast etc. to borrow phrase from the book, this book is “nothing burger” as you will already know most of the stories contained in it.
For new readers just starting their journey into the world of tech, this book will be interesting and entertaining.

Pithy and Insightful as always
I’ve been part of the tech world for as long as Kara and spent my years between Sun Microsystems, Salesforce and my own tech start up. Through it all I’ve enjoyed Kara’s insights, depth of reporting and laughed at her pithy comments about a sector so many hold in high esteem while it too often drowns in its own delusions and narcissism. This fact makes Kara and those like her important voices to create a balance in our understanding of this world and its powerful impact on all of us. Great read/listen.

Poor baby never got rich with the tech tycoons
Hours of whinnying, when all I was hoping for was some original insights. Kara mailing in the “advocate” and “activist” part of her career - while slowly becoming more and more irrelevant . The bitterness is palpable with this aged out has been - wait, that to nice… never was. She has a passionate despise of anyone who has accomplished real tech progress. Butt hurt complainer and a sad end to a career.

Not worth the listen unless you live in the liberal tech bubble.
A book about her and how she made many correct predictions, knew all the major players in the tech world and bashed those whose opinion were different then hers. I was looking forward to hearing interesting stories not "I knew it" and this man and that man were assholes and were wrong.
