Brad Stone: ‘The Upstarts’ of Silicon Valley

The 2007 economic crash left Silicon Valley reeling and, as always, in search of the “next big thing.” Former renegades like Steve Jobs were now the establishment. The Valley was ready for a new revolution. New York Times bestselling author Brad Stone (The Everything Store) offers a close look at this moment and the genius entrepreneurs who managed to capitalize on this opportunity. Stone will provide an insider’s perspective on major players like Travis Kalanick of Uber and Brian Chesky of Airbnb. Intersecting business and culture, he illuminates the smart, driven, and often comically flawed people who are upending industries and changing our world.
