Recommendation
Business writer Ashlee Vance’s biography of Elon Musk proves fascinating because Musk is fascinating. He’s done amazing things. He’s also highly controversial. Vance tries to include multiple perspectives. He discusses both how Musk’s career evolved – through his youth, Paypal, Zip2, Tesla and SpaceX – and how public perceptions of Musk’s actions have shifted over time. Vance’s hypnotic descriptions of Musk make it easy to understand how Musk would disrupt any industry he chose – and most social contexts as well. With a caveat that those who don’t think the F-word belongs in business biographies should skip this one, getAbstract recommends Vance’s compelling history of a startling career to those interested in genius, start-ups, technology, innovation or, of course, Elon Musk.
