Chaos Monkeys: Inside The Silicon Valley Money Machine

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

An adrenaline-fuelled exposé of life inside the tech bubble, Chaos Monkeys lays bare the secrets, power plays and lifestyle excesses of the visionaries, grunts, sociopaths, opportunists and money cowboys who are revolutionising our world. Written by startup CEO and industry provocateur Antonio García Martínez, this is Liar’s Poker meets The Social Network.

Computer engineers use ‘chaos monkey’ software to wreak havoc and test system robustness. Similarly, tech entrepreneurs like Antonio García Martínez are society’s chaos monkeys – their innovations disrupt every aspect of our lives, from transportation (Uber) and holidays (Airbnb) to television (Netflix) and dating (Tinder) – all in search of the perfect business miracle.

Describing himself as ‘high-strung, fast-talking, and wired on a combination of caffeine, fear, and greed at all times’, García Martínez left Wall Street to make his fortune in Silicon Valley, becoming CEO of his own startup, before bailing and being poached by Facebook’s nascent advertising team. Here he turned users’ data into profit for COO Sheryl Sandberg and chairman and CEO Mark ‘Zuck’ Zuckerberg. Forced out of Facebook in the wake of a bitter internal product war, García Martínez took his unique brand of entrepreneurial hyperactivity to rivals Twitter. Along the way, he got into a lot of trouble with a lot of people, brewed illegal beer on the Facebook campus (accidentally flooding Zuckerberg's desk), lived on a yacht, raced sport cars on the highway, and enthusiastically pursued the lifestyle of an overpaid Silicon Valley mercenary.

In Chaos Monkeys he tells you HOW – and HOW NOT – to make a fortune through startups and digital marketing. Highly entertaining and always offering genuine insight, García Martínez unravels the chaotic evolution of social media and online marketing. From startups and credit derivatives to Big Brother and data tracking, social media monetisation and digital ‘privacy’, he shares both his scathing observations and outrageous antics, taking us on a subversive and very funny tour of the fascinatingly insular and unbelievably wealthy tech industry.

Best blanket ever!
Color: Onyx / Camel on Ivory (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Onyx / Camel on Ivory (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
This is so soft. I just want to keep petting it. I love that one side has different colors. I am blown away at how good this feels agains my skin. It even feels good over my lap when I have pants on. I would highly recommend this blanket. I will probably be showing all of my friends. I just hope it keeps its softness and is a good quality. If anything changes I will update.

My mom loves it
Color: Onyx / Camel on Ivory (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Twin (60" x 80")
This was a Mother’s Day gift for my mom. She absolutely loved it! It’s double sided, which is hard to find on Amazon. It’s super soft, and not too heavy! The quality feels like something that is high end too!

FAUX RABBIT FUR THROW
Color: Brown (Faux Fur Bubble + Flannel), Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Brown (Faux Fur Bubble + Flannel), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
This throw has a soft feel to it, like you’re holding a Bunny. It’s beautiful and has a nice backing on it. I have to say I do not find it a good value for the money thinking about long term use goes. Perhaps a small child might use it as a form of comfort. I probably wouldn’t buy it again.

You can’t tell the difference between this blanket and my Pottery Barn ones.
Color: Cream White
I absolutely love this blanket! It is incredibly soft and plush—honestly one of the coziest blankets I’ve owned. The thickness makes it feel high quality, and it keeps me warm without feeling too heavy. The cream color is beautiful and neutral, which goes perfectly with my home decor. It looks just as good in person as it does in the photos. I also love that it has that luxe, fluffy look that makes any space feel more cozy and elevated. I actually own blankets from Pottery Barn, and I truly cannot tell the difference in quality or feel. This one gives that same high-end, luxurious vibe for a fraction of the price. I’ve used it on the couch and for relaxing at night, and it’s quickly become my go-to blanket. So far, I haven’t had any issues with shedding, and it seems very well made. I now know exactly what I’ll be getting everyone for Christmas—this is such a perfect gift! Definitely worth the purchase—would 100% buy again!

High-end quality
Color: Cream White
I’m obsessed with this blanket. It’s insanely soft and cozy without feeling too heavy. The cream color is even prettier in person and looks so clean and elevated. It’s perfect for lounging or just throwing over a bed or chair for decor. I’m so happy with this purchase, definitely worth it!
