Elon Musk的内容简介

In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley’s most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs—a real-life Tony Stark—and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new "makers."

Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius’s life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits.

Vance uses Musk’s story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk—one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history—is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy.

Thorough and insightful, Elon Musk brings to life a technology industry that is rapidly and dramatically changing by examining the life of one of its most powerful and influential titans.

可以配合Elon Musk: The World’s Raddest Man, How Tesla Will Change the World, How (and Why) SpaceX Will Colonize Mars, The Cook and the Chef: Musk’s Secret Sauce四篇博文共同阅读。全书读完脑海里一直重复着这样的一个画面：一个凌晨，Elon和Mueller, Buzza, Gwynne Shotwell, 在El Segundo的工厂里刚热火朝天地忙着环氧树脂修补一个发动机燃烧室的裂缝，休息的时候一同玩起了雷神之锤。那是怎样的情形啊，那是光辉岁月。
