Burn Rate

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Fire and Fury and Siege: Trump Under Fire—Michael Wolff's wickedly funny chronicle of his rags-to-riches-to-rags adventure as a fledgling Internet entrepreneur exposes an industry powered by hype, celebrity, and billions of investment dollars, and notably devoid of profit-making enterprises.

As he describes his efforts to control his company's burn rate—the amount of money the company consumes in excess of its income—Wolff offers a no-holds-barred portrait of unaccountable successes and major disasters, including the story behind Wired magazine and its fanatical founder, Louis Rossetto; the rise of America Online, perhaps the most dysfunctional successful company in history, and the humiliating inability of people such as Bill Gates to untangle the intricacies of the Web.

De la autorul bestsellerului nr. 1 al New York Times Fire and Fury and Siege: Trump Under Fire - cronica amuzanta a lui Michael Wolff a aventurii sale zdrobitoare-la-bogatie-la-zdrenta, in timp ce un antreprenor aflat la inceput de internet expune o industrie alimentata de hype celebritate si miliarde de dolari pentru investitii si, in special, lipsita de intreprinderi profitabile. Dupa cum descrie eforturile sale de a controla rata de ardere a companiei sale - suma de bani pe care compania o consuma peste veniturile sale - Wolff ofera o restrictie portretul succeselor inexplicabile si al dezastrelor majore, inclusiv povestea din spatele revistei Wired si a fondatorului sau fanatic, Louis Rossetto; ascensiunea Americii Online, poate cea mai disfunctionala companie de succes din istorie, si incapacitatea umilitoare a unor oameni precum Bill Gates de a dezlega complexitatile internetului.
