Ashlee Vance is a technology writer for Bloomberg Businessweek in Palo Alto, Calif. He is the author of Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future (HarperCollins, May 2015).
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.
##每次读这种传记,都会浑身血液沸腾。但在沸腾以后,又总是淡淡的失落。我没有成功人士的高智商,高学历,强大的执行力和人格魅力,我年龄不小了,我这一生已经错过了,我再也不可能取得马斯克的成就了,哪怕他的百分之一也不可能了。 整个人都陷入巨大的空虚感。 现在,我认为...
评分##读完这本书,我觉得Elon Musk不是一个纯粹的极客,他是一个高科技商人。他和普通极客有一个很明显的区别,就是他关注商机(毕竟他还有经济学学位)。 这样说吧,如果一个东西只是有科技含量,却没有商机,他是不会去做的。 Tesla初创团队中的斯特劳贝尔,做电动车的初衷仅仅...
评分 评分 评分##花了一些时间读完了《硅谷钢铁侠》这本书,在我看来,这本书是一本不完整的传记,因为关于伊隆马斯克的故事还在继续,我们在这本书里面看到的内容可能仅仅是他一生小小的一部分。 说起伊隆马斯克,相信大家都不陌生,但是很多人对他的了解仅仅限于特斯拉和space x。而实际上,...
评分##我觉得这本书的高度 短期内很难被超越了 特别推荐阅读
评分 评分对钢铁侠有兴趣的朋友,不妨从waitbutwhy.com上的三篇神文看起,比这本书好看多了。别问我是谁,我叫红领巾。
评分##Elon在08年的时候能挺过来,除了靠他伟大愿景,聚拢的人才,还有强大的执行力以外,政府关系和一点运气也是必不可少。感谢老东家eBay收购Paypal时给了Elon第一桶金,让他在为人类造福的道路上一步步走下去 过去我读名人传记,原因就像太史公所说,“余读孔氏书,想见其为人”。大抵出于一种偶像崇拜,想要了解更多关于他的事情。古人的风雅概不可寻,只能根据后人记载的事迹追思想象。但现代人出传的速度越来越快,还没有到盖棺定论的时候,传记已经有几本了。并且互联网时代影音资...
