Description
Twitter's meteoric rise from a humble internet start-up to a global phenomenon is revealed in this gripping true story. Since 2006, the social media platform has grown exponentially, becoming an $11.5bn business by 2013. But behind the scenes of Twitter's rapid expansion lies a complex web of friendships, power struggles and high-stakes decisions. At the heart of the story are four individuals who created and shaped the platform: Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, and Noah Glass. Through unprecedented access to internal documents, e-mails and investigative reporting, journalist Nick Bilton brings their stories to life, exposing the betrayals, rivalries and triumphs that defined Twitter's early years. This is a business story like no other, offering a unique glimpse into the inner workings of one of the world's most influential companies.
