My guess is that the "ageist" tone of his memoir it's savvy marketing. Who's going to be most interested in a memoir of a middle aged guy witnessing the horrors of working for a rich bro tech company? Who's going to buy a book, full stop? Other middle aged people who have looked at young idiots getting rich in Silicon Valley while their career prospects dwindle, that's who. So the tone of this and other articles he's written to promote the book are of course going to play up the culture clash and take sides with the older generation. Older people with wisdom and marketing experience understand these things (I kid!).
