Critics Review
Any book that starts with a description of a chief executive on his knees, throwing up into a bin after being betrayed by friends and investors is unlikely to be a traditional founder’s tale…. This well-timed book successfully mines a story so rich it is destined to be told and retold. - Financial Times
A tale of Machiavellian plots and coups d’etat, it’s just all so gripping. I’m supposed to read all our research for our guests tomorrow but I’ve got terrible feeling I’m going to finish at 9:30 and just read that. - Chris Evans, BBC Radio 2Full of lies, bad behavior, and lots and lots of backstabbing … despite the fact I’ve reported on Twitter since its very early days, what Bilton unearthed surprised me, again and again…. Hatching Twitter is an adventure story, written like a crime novel. - WiredA made-for-the-movies account - Economist, Books of the YearAbout The Author
