Uber and Airbnb have upended entire industries, redefining how we live, work, and travel. Now, a new generation of tech founders are taking the Silicon Valley playbook to the extreme. Driven by limitless ambition and a win-at-all-costs mentality, these "upstarts" like Travis Kalanick and Brian Chesky are shattering conventions - and often the law. In Brad Stone's gripping account, we witness the birth of a new business era, where renegade entrepreneurs harness technology to dominate their markets, rewrite the rules, and get filthy rich in the process.
