Descriere
The new biography from Walter Isaacson, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Steve Jobs.
Recenzii
'Isaacson, a highly respected biographer, does an excellent job in tying him down. Musk cooperated in its writing, but it's no hagiography, delving into dark family secrets, exposing Musk's anti-social nature, his addiction to drama and risk, his tendency to, in the words of his ex-wife, go "king-crazy"'
‘[Isaacson] has done something amazing with the Musk biography which is to write a 688-page quick read’
‘Whatever you think of Mr Musk, he is a man worth understanding – which makes this a book worth reading’
‘A penetrating new biography’
‘A beat-by-beat book that follows the tycoon inside important rooms, as well as exploring obscure regions of his mind’
‘A comprehensive, deeply reported chronicle of the world-shaping tech mogul’s life’
‘An experienced biographer’s comprehensive study’
‘He forms his own conclusions, which are mostly admirably balanced and mature. . . Isaacson, in his quest for a comprehensive audit of the Musk phenomenon, errs slightly on the side of the voyeur in these encounters, but I can’t blame him. It’s quite the spectacle’
‘The book contains a series of illuminating anecdotes about Musk’
'Isaacson offers both an engaging chronicle of his subject’s busy life so far and some compelling answers’
‘The most complete profile of Musk yet’
'There’s not much middle ground on Musk – people love him or hate him – but Isaacson is best positioned to figure out what makes him tick’
‘The resulting book delves deep into the billionaire’s demons, including childhood bullies and a difficult father, and interrogates their relationship to his success’
‘Isaacson deftly handles complicated matters like the development of electric vehicles, rockets and artificial intelligence while also deeply exploring Musk’s background and family’
‘This fast-paced biography. . . [is] a head-spinning tale about a vain, brilliant, sometimes cruel figure whose ambitions are actively shaping the future of human life'
‘Everything you'd expect from a book on Musk. . . While the stories are fascinating and guaranteed to spark a mountain of coverage, founders and entrepreneurs will also unearth valuable lessons’
‘The book is bursting with stories. . . A deeply engrossing tale of a spectacular American innovator’
‘Walter Isaacson’s intimate account of a tech titan’
‘this biography of Elon Musk is still fascinating. How could it not be? . . . He has spoken to practically everybody’
‘a highly readable portrait of a very unusual personality. . . It is a considerable achievement on Isaacson’s part to have persuaded this reviewer. . . to adopt a more sympathetic view of Musk and set aside much of the familiar media caricature of him.’
‘Described by the FT as a “688-page quick read” for the TikTok generation, Isaacson’s biography of the South African entrepreneur races along at bone-rattling speed. That certainly makes for an entertaining exploration of Musk the celebrity’
‘From its cover… to its size (nearly 700 pages), this account of the world’s highest profile technology entrepreneur shouts importance… Isaacson does a good job of illustrating the crazy genius of his multiple projects'
‘[There are] few biographers who have had so much access to powerful people as Walter Isaacson. So his biography Elon Musk is a must-read. . . in my view, it is the details about his attitude towards artificial intelligence at Tesla, or his dealings with the Ukrainian government, which are most fascinating. Whatever you think of Musk, [this is] an illuminating book that forces us to confront a crucial question: are innovators always half-mad?’
‘This biography, written with his approval, follows him from his dweebish, unhappy childhood to Twitter trolling adulthood’
