Hatching Twitter by Nick Bilton


I am a huge admirer of the non-fiction pager turner and I think Nick completely nailed it with Hatching Twitter. I believe this is way more like a Shakespeare play than some dot.com corporate phenomenon history. Nick does a fantastic job of carefully weaving a story together that tells a tale of of creation, triumph, deceit, revenge, and intrigue. Nick also talks about the specific environments when everything happened and about the feelings rushing through people's minds and lastly explains the whole Twitter founding story in excruciating details.I believe it's one that keeps us engaged and on our toes from start to finish as this book is strong investigative journalism that somehow reads like a highly entertaining.
