Unusually frank and brutal narrative about the behind the scenes action at Twitter. If you think startups are all smiles and high-fives, I'd suggest you read this book.

@chudson was shocked to learn the details behind Ev being removed as CEO....and Fred Wilson's dismissal of him "he'd always been a terrible CEO, that he had no product sense, and that he never considered him a founder"
I'll throw in my vote for this as another fantastic audiobook! It's extremely well narrated and the story already being a silicon valley soap opera makes this a great listen.
It's a fascinating tale, demonstrating some negatives of the Silicon Valley culture and telling a side of the story that is not well known.
This book, although a work of non-fiction reads like a brilliant, dramatic novel. The characters, the struggle, the success, the betrayal-- Hatching Twitter has got it all! I highly recommend!
