I particularly love the following quotes from "Chaos Monkeys." This is "The Social Network" level of commentary:
The harsh reality is this: to have influence in the world, you need to be willing and able to reward your friends and punish your enemies.
But in the passive-aggressive popularity contest that is Silicon Valley, someone actually going to bat for you—really going to bat, like telling important people to go fuck themselves—that’s rarer and more short-lived than a snowflake in a bonfire.
