Desde fuera, la red social Twitter parece ser la típica compañía sin problemas y afortunada asentada en Silicon Valley. Una historia más de una pequeña empresa tecnológica que acaba consiguiendo un éxito desmesurado: Un grupo de jóvenes programadores construyen una empresa con la esperanza de hacerse ricos y cambiar el mund o. Y lo consiguen.Pero Twitter no se creó de la manera que se nos ha vendido públicamente. Es, al contrario, una historia de traición, de inversores despiadados y de luchas de poder que acabaron con la expulsión de los fundadores de Twitter, de directores ejecutivos, de empleados, de inversoresy de miembros del consejo.Esta también una historia de fama. De influencia. De poder. De dinero. Es una historia, retratada por el periodista de The New York Times Nick Bilton, que define a una generación en la que los ingenieros de software se han convertido en celebridades de fama mundial.

The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir of U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle, and the source for Clint Eastwood’s blockbuster movie which was nominated for six academy awards, including best picture. From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him “The Legend”; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war—including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates—and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
