Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Disrupted My Misadventure in the Start Up Bubble
by
Lyons, Dan

Excellent read - really ripping and most should burn right through it, like tech start-ups burn through VC investment capital! Lyons gives a great first person account on this, often hilarious, but also delves a bit deeper with some background from business news of the last decade in tech, where the truth is, they are _not_ there to make some "insanely great" product or service, nor benefit their customers, employees and shareholders. NO. They are there to make tons of money for a cherished few: the initial business founders and the VCs/Angel investors who got in early. Everyone else: employees, shareholders, customers, are but chaff that shall not dissuade from the Almighty marketing message to drive the stock price up beyond any sane valuation. And also the "frat house" culture they willingly cultivate at these start-ups that often foster ageism, sexism and casual racism in the name of "culture fit." A great & sobering read, and quite funny too (when you're not crying over either your job being outsourced or being hit in the head by nerf gun by a 20-something).
