NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2022 BY THE NEW YORKER, this national bestseller offers a gripping account of PayPal’s origins and the visionaries behind its rise, including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Reid Hoffman. These founders and early employees have become a powerful network in the tech industry, influencing major companies like Tesla, Facebook, and SpaceX.
