It was described as a funny, revealing, and insightful book about the tech industry, and a brief section about his personal life led to his dismissal from Apple.
He essentially ran Facebook ads for a little while. Then he dropped out and wrote a book called Chaos Monkeys, which is a it's a terrific book.
It's very much like Liars Poker. If you've ever read that book about Wall Street, it's Michael Lewis book.
And there's a section in the book where is a brief section where he's talking about his personal life. And he's talking about how he fell in love with this one woman who he's describing as a strong woman.
