A first person memoir about an aqui-hire by Facebook / Twitter. Interesting to learn about the differences in corporate culture and how Ycombinator works behind the scenes.
Seconding Chaos Monkeys (Martinez), best startup memoir I've read so far.
Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley by Martin
think this book is a particularly interesting read, especially considering the U.S. election opera of 2016:
Loved Chaos Monkeys as well - It's a fun read and very educational at the same time.
Chaos monkeys (Antonio Garcia Martinez) - entertaining, but quite long
