Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 539
From a rising star at The New Yorker, a deeply immersive chronicle of how the optimistic entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley set out to create a free and democratic internet - and how the cynical propagandists of the alt-right exploited that freedom to propel the extreme into the mainstream.

Important topic, poorly written
Revisado: 08-12-24
Poorly written, listing the number of likes random Facebook posts get isn’t quality journalism. It’s a shame since it’s an important topic.

Often downplayed in the excitement of starting up a new business venture is one of the most important decisions entrepreneurs will face: should they go it alone, or bring in cofounders, hires, and investors to help build the business? More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin.

Too long for what it had to say
Revisado: 01-14-23
Obviously had a page # target and stretched out content to reach that. Made the book drag on.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 585
At the dawn of World War I, a young academic named John Maynard Keynes hastily folded his long legs into the sidecar of his brother-in-law’s motorcycle for an odd, frantic journey that would change the course of history. Swept away from his placid home at Cambridge University by the currents of the conflict, Keynes found himself thrust into the halls of European treasuries to arrange emergency loans and packed off to America to negotiate the terms of economic combat.

Phenomenal

One of the better boos that inhale listened to. Genuinely entertaining while also presenting Keynes’s life in an informative manner.

North America was settled by people with distinct religious, political, and ethnographic characteristics, creating regional cultures that have been at odds with one another ever since. Subsequent immigrants didn't confront or assimilate into an "American" or "Canadian" culture, but rather into one of the 11 distinct regional ones that spread over the continent each staking out mutually exclusive territory. In American Nations, Colin Woodard leads us on a journey through the history of our fractured continent....

Not consistent - Do not recommend
Revisado: 04-28-20
The author makes a lot of claims that don’t have any real support. He even is inconsistent with his magical arguments from time to time. The biggest of which is that he claims that a few dozen settlers can create the culture of a region forever but then claims that places like Chicago were overrun my migrants which changed its culture. Also it seemed that the Author really just wanted to get jabs in at Alexander Hamilton even though it didn’t relate to the story. He failed to properly identify the issue with revolutionary war bonds as governmental failure and instead randomly tailed against the concept of private property and transferable ownership. He also fails to explain the differentiated culture of southern cities which align much more with his ideal of a midland/yankee/new Netherland culture despite the fact that they were solely occupied by deep southerners for 100+ years. By his own argument this should have made the new migrants to these cities conform to the already existing culture. Overall disappointing. I was very open to accepting the idea that there are distinct cultural groups in America but the longer this book went on the more frustrated I grew with the sloppy argument that was being made.

Nobody wants to fail. But in highly complex organizations, success can happen only when we confront our mistakes, learn from our own version of a black box, and create a climate where it's safe to fail. We all have to endure failure from time to time, whether it's underperforming at a job interview, flunking an exam, or losing a pickup basketball game. But for people working in safety-critical industries, getting it wrong can have deadly consequences.
