Inside the Startup Circus: One Man’s Hilarious Crash into Silicon Valley Culture

Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble is a sharp, funny, and eye-opening memoir by veteran journalist Dan Lyons, who found himself laid off at 50 and launched headfirst into the chaotic world of tech startups. Landing a job at the marketing software company HubSpot, Lyons steps into a bizarre environment filled with Nerf wars, cult-like jargon, meaningless job titles, and millennial-fueled optimism—all masking questionable business ethics.
