Antonio Garcia Martinez

Whoa. This was a fantastic read. A no-nonsense insight into the workings of Silicon Valley. A biography of an entrepreneur, worked as a PM at Facebook, also gives an intro about the underpinnings of AdTech. As a fan of many Silicon Valley companies, this book is kind of a myth buster. I thoroughly enjoyed.

this guy's got some serious cojones. He dishes out all the dirty secrets of Silicon Valley and their cutthroat culture. It's like 'The Social Network' meets 'Game of Thrones'! Martinez doesn't hold back and he's not afraid to burn some bridges. He's a real-life chaos monkey himself, stirring things up in the tech world. This book is not for the faint of heart, but if you want a peek behind the curtain of the tech industry, 'Chaos Monkeys' is the way to go. Highly recommend.

Finished it but all in all a waste of time, unless you find the ins and outs of online ads and how you are "targeted" utterly fascinating. When Martinez dissed ad blocking software it was truly all over for me. And that's not even mentioning the author's misogyny, backstabbing, greed, egotism, reckless behavior, etc., etc., on display in page after page. Honestly there are better books that "expose" the ugly side of Silicon Valley.

R rated, but very readable.
