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-...
- prepend 6y agoIt 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/
