Simba Mudonzvo is a British-Zimbabwean satirist and tech blogger who spent years dissecting Silicon Valley's absurdities before realizing the real joke was how willingly we were all climbing into the cage. As the founder of TechOnion—a publication he describes as "like Wikipedia getting drunk with The Onion after a TechCrunch party"—he's made a career of peeling back the layers of tech industry hype, one satirical headline at a time.

His blog posts about investigative journalism and tech satire inevitably led him to writing books.

“The choice between the blue pill marketing and the red pill marketing is ultimately a choice between complacency and growth. Staying within your comfort zone may feel safe, but it also means missing out on opportunities for progress and advancement. Embracing change and learning new skills, on the other hand, can be daunting, but it is also essential for success in today’s digital world.”
