Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,442
Part memoir, part history, Burn Book is a necessary chronicle of tech’s most powerful players. This is the inside story we’ve all been waiting for about modern Silicon Valley and the biggest boom in wealth creation in the history of the world. When tech titans crowed that they would “move fast and break things,” Kara Swisher was moving faster and breaking news. While covering the explosion of the digital sector in the early 1990s, she developed a long track record of digging up and reporting the facts about this new world order.

Tech stinks now. Kara is unafraid to point out where the stench is coming from. If you want to know exactly when and how Big Tech went from cool as Fonzie to jumping the shark, put on your oven mitts and push play on Burn Book.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 148
A radio broadcaster and journalist for Edward R. Murrow at CBS, William L. Shirer was new to the world of broadcast journalism when he began keeping a diary while on assignment in Europe during the 1930s. Shirer’s Berlin Diary, which is considered the first full record of what was happening in Germany during the rise of the Third Reich, appeared in 1941. Shirer returned to the European front in 1944 to cover the end of the war. End of a Berlin Diary chronicles this year-long study of Germany after Hitler.

Don’t miss this piece of history!

Ever wonder how people in Europe put the pieces back together after WW2? Think it was all roses and reconciliation? Shirer was there when before the war, and returned as soon as he could to report on the above. As always, his shrewd observations prove to have a truth beyond their time.
