I'm currently listening to the audiobook of "Burn Book" (read by @karaswisher ) and it's all I could hope it would be.
Along with Scott Galloway, one of the few people who thoughtfully and intelligently articulates the outrage a lot of us are feeling.

Kara Swisher On Big Tech’s 'Careless People', Her New 'Burn Book' & Why She’s Had It With Silicon Valley - B&T
B&T chats with the high priestess of tech journalism Kara Swisher. As ever, she left nothing on the table.Nancy Hromin (B&T)
“Swisher’s memoir, #BurnBook, (yes, it’s a reference to the classic teen film, Mean Girls) was released early last year in the US, but in light of what’s going on in America now, it’s more pertinent than ever.
While it’s a memoir of Swisher’s career as a #journalist who was practically embedded in Silicon Valley from the industry’s earliest days (with a contact book that featured everyone from #SteveJobs to #Musk), Burn Book also offers insights into the entrepreneurs and investors, and the backstories behind companies including #Amazon, #Yahoo and #Google, notably detailing the dysfunctional tech bros behind the scenes. She’s regarded as Silicon Valley’s “most feared” but also “most liked” journalist.
Burn Book is also, Swisher says, “a warning, in many ways” of what’s happening in the US now.
And just what the hell is going on? “It’s a constitutional crisis – that’s what we’re calling it here,” Swisher says.
She is shocked by Musk’s new role.”
Bugger I missed Kara talking at my Alma Mater, guess this article and the book will do.

Kara Swisher on tech’s ‘sad, little, victimised, arrested-development men’
Kara Swisher’s memoir about her decades spent interviewing the biggest names in the tech industry was fascinating when it was released a year ago. Now that the US is seemingly run by tech billionaires, it’s essential reading.Kylie Northover (The Sydney Morning Herald)
