Description

This is the story of MySpace, a powerhouse Internet company that rose from humble beginnings to become nothing less than one of the centerpieces of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. Barely funded, technologically inept, conceptually derivative, and driven by rivalries, no one would have predicted this company would morph into the biggest Internet site in the world. This fascinating and surprising story includes all the elements of a great business narrative—obsessive characters, relentless and unlikely innovation, and dizzying back room deal-making—all centered around an epic battle for control. Acclaimed journalist Julia Angwin delivers a savvy, smart business narrative reminiscent of Kurt Eichenwqald and Barbarians at the Gate.
