My first book was a collection of short stories, followed by two novels. Then I switched to non-fiction. I've been a journalist for most of my career.

I didn't read this because I was a fan of The Fake Steve Jobs blog. I read it because of HubSpot. And I'm so glad I did. This guy is freakin' hilarious.
Here's the deal (briefly). Before reading this book, I was familiar with HubSpot, a popular content marketing company where the author worked after losing his gig at Newsweek as technology editor. He left HubSpot and subsequently wrote a much-anticipated—at least by PR-types like me—chronicle of his time there in a book called Disrupted (which got a rave review from this reader). That book led me to this one.
The sarcasm is brilliant (and oh, so accurate), and the story is captivating. I was skeptical that a clever blog could be successfully transformed into a novel. I thought it would flop like many Saturday Night Live skits-turned-feature films do. But this one did not disappoint.
I just hope you asshats are smart enough to recognize what a masterpiece this is, but I won't hold my breath. (That was an inside joke that you won't get unless you read the book. I hope you do.)

Hilarious spoof of Steve Jobs & Apple in the Aughts.
