Interesting, unbiased account
Revisado: 05-31-17
I found this to be an enjoyable listen because I am interested in the goals Musk is trying to achieve. it was also objective, relating the facts of controversial incidents from several angles and not having any hero worship feel to it. There is a lot of detail about the histories of the companies and the accomplishments, and how they relate/d to the tech scene as a whole at the time. There is some movement back and forth in time in order to trace each of these, but not to the point of being hard to follow. I would recommend this book to those who would like a look into what a driven person can accomplish, or into the recent developments in electric car and rocket tech.

Historia
Life is not easy for the poor relations of England’s upper crust, but fate and clever schemes bring them together. Lady Fortescue and Colonel Sandhurst hatch a plan: What if they were to transform her decrepit Bond Street home into a posh hotel, offering their guests the pleasure of being waited upon by nobility? With the help of other down-and-out aristocrats, they do just that, and London’s newest hotel, The Poor Relation, is born. The establishment is an immediate hit with London’s most illustrious citizens, save the Duke of Rowcester....

I'll be wanting more lighthearted stories of the plucky "poor relations" bucking the conventions of the day!

Historia
Tales of a Female Nomad is the story of Rita Golden Gelman, an ordinary woman who is living an extraordinary existence. At the age of 48, on the verge of a divorce, Rita left an elegant life in Los Angeles to follow her dream of connecting with people in cultures all over the world. In 1986, she sold her possessions and became a nomad, living in a Zapotec village in Mexico, sleeping with sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, and residing everywhere from thatched huts to regal palaces.

Loved it!

I'm an armchair traveler but Rita made me feel like I was there. Her perspective and philosophy is wonderful - more people should do this. It's what I would do if I could and I'm so glad someone is able, and that she's been hospitable enough to take us along for the ride.
