Interesting history lesson!
Revisado: 03-15-22
You feel like me and I've heard of these online cults but didn't know their origins or their full history this book is for you. it goes through some of the bigger cults that have appeared online and affected our offline world.
You may have heard of Game of gate or pizza game and definitely you've heard of q but to hear the history and what led to them as well as ways that we should be trying to interact with people that have fallen down these rabbit holes of these cults really was eye opening even after having followed some of the local participants in these cults.
I must have listened for any online native or just someone who likes to use the internet at all.

Historia
As enlightening as The Facebook Effect, Elon Musk, and Chaos Monkeys - the compelling, behind-the-scenes story of the creation of one of the most essential applications ever devised, and the rag-tag team that built it and changed how we navigate the world. Never Lost Again chronicles the evolution of mapping technology - the "overnight success 20 years in the making." Bill Kilday takes us behind the scenes of the tech’s development, and introduces to the team that gave us not only Google Maps but Google Earth, and most recently, Pokémon Go.

Historia
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Historia
There have been many books - on a large and small scale - about Steve Jobs, one of the most famous CEOs in history. But this book is different from all the others. Becoming Steve Jobs takes on and breaks down the existing myth and stereotypes about Steve Jobs. The conventional, one-dimensional view of Jobs is that he was half genius, half jerk from youth, an irascible and selfish leader who slighted friends and family alike.

A rehash of what we already knew

If this is your first Steve Jobs book you'll find it better then if you have read others. Different take on the others but not terribly. not a lot of new information.

Historia
The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book". Maybe that's why, after more than 20 years of consecutive number-one New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.

Good "read" without being spectacular
Revisado: 12-19-11
If you could sum up The Litigators in three words, what would they be?
Not Bad, But bit predictable.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The characters where interesting but none jumped out at you.
What does Dennis Boutsikaris bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed the readers style. There was subtle voice changes for the characters, so not suprised that some reviews didn't pick them up.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to keep listening and the story was good, but as my first Grisham Audiobook, was expect a major twist that, I guess was suggested at a point but didn't go anywhere, as a few of the areas that were looked didn't see to be continued
Any additional comments?
Good read and hasn't turned me off checking out other Grisham books. Perhaps being more from his movies, I am expecting too much.

In little more than half a decade, Facebook has gone from a dorm-room novelty to a company with 500 million users. It is one of the fastest growing companies in history, an essential part of the social life not only of teenagers but hundreds of millions of adults worldwide. As Facebook spreads around the globe, it creates surprising effects, even becoming instrumental in political protests from Colombia to Iran.

Love the Book, but the interview at the end?
Revisado: 11-12-10
I really liked the book. I was fine with the reader. What I had issues with was the interview with Mark's sister at the end of the book. Firstly, when I found that there would be an interview with Mark's sister on the recording, I thought "Great, should be interesting to hear her thoughts on the company and her brother". Then when it started and she was interviewing David, that seemed like a mistake to me. The editing of the interview also made it feel weird and like a piece of Facebook Marketing rather then an interview.
This shouldn't take away from the rest of the book. I thought the book was fairly even. As the David poiints out, his connection to the company means he would be a little more biased towards the company but he touches the important issues in a fairly even way.
I would definitely recommend this book and would love to hear another book from David on another Tech Company!
