A look deep inside the new Silicon Valley, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Everything Store
Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger's car, or a walking into a stranger's home, would have seemed bizarre and dangerous, but today it's as common as ordering a book online. Uber and Airbnb have ushered in a new era: redefining neighborhoods, challenging the way governments regulate business, and changing the way we travel.
In the spirit of iconic Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, another generation of entrepreneurs is using technology to upend convention and disrupt entire industries. These are the upstarts, idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Led by such visionaries as Travis Kalanick of Uber and Brian Chesky of Airbnb, they are rewriting the rules of business and often sidestepping serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process.
The Upstarts is the definitive story of two new titans of business and a dawning age of tenacity, conflict and wealth. In Brad Stone's riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we discover how it all happened and what it took to change the world.

評分 評分 評分##開始讀的時候，不明白作者為什麼選擇一章寫UBER一章寫AIRBNB，後來慢慢發現這麼安排的優點：可以比較清晰地瞭解兩傢公司在類似階段的應對方法和公司靈魂人物的應對之道。對於矽榖知之甚少，這本書也算是我對矽榖的啓濛讀物瞭。最後的腳注也挺不錯，可以找到很多有價值的信息。
評分##優步和愛彼迎是共享經濟的雙子星，也是所有共享經濟公司中估值最高的兩傢。媒體報道，優步的估值一度高達680億美元；愛彼迎的估值超過300億美元。因為兩傢公司做的業務，不同於上一代互聯網公司僅僅在綫上，而是和綫下緊密相連。所以，他們就麵對瞭更多需要思考“戰或和”、變通或堅持的場景。這些需要思考“戰或和”的場景，都在考驗一個創業公司CEO的選擇能力，什麼時候該變通（uber選擇快車），什麼時候該堅持（Airbnb堅持一開始不被認可的齣租住傢的理念）。

評分##An engrossing tale about two of the biggest stars of sharing economy. The history of Uber and Airbnb is more than just epic battles between the incumbents and future, it offers an enticing glimpse at what this new century might really look like.
