  Yes.

  Wow apparently a NYT bestseller and NPR book of the year.

    Bestseller in the publishing world is practically 'natural' in the food world.

    There were 309 "NPR Best Books of the Year" in 2016. https://apps.npr.org/best-books/#view=covers&year=2016 https://apps.npr.org/best-books/#view=covers&year=2016 Here is the NYT review. It's not exactly glowing. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/business/dealbook/review-chaos-monkeys-is-a-guide-to-the-spirit-of-silicon-valley.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/business/dealbook/review-...

      It seems the NYT review has an overall positive sentiment with statements like “irresistible and indispensable 360-degree guide to the new technology establishment.” It seems like there’s almost 300,000 books published in the US each year [0] so being on NPR’s list is pretty distinguished. So a better way would be to say it’s in the 99.9th percentile. [0] https://malwarwickonbooks.com/published-every-year/ https://malwarwickonbooks.com/published-every-year/

  I wonder how it compares to The Accidental Billionaires, which was the basis for Sorkin's The Social Network.
