Burn Rate by Michael Wolff
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Fire and Fury and Siege: Trump Under Fire--Michael Wolff's wickedly funny chronicle of his rags-to-riches-to-rags adventure as a fledgling Internet entrepreneur exposes an industry powered by hype, celebrity, and billions of investment dollars, and notably devoid of profit-making enterprises. As he describes his efforts to control his company's burn rate--the amount of money the company consumes in excess of its income--Wolff offers a no-holds-barred portrait of unaccountable successes and major disasters, including the story behind Wired magazine and its fanatical founder, Louis Rossetto; the rise of America Online, perhaps the most dysfunctional successful company in history, and the humiliating inability of people such as Bill Gates to untangle the intricacies of the Web.Michael Wolff is a founder columnist of the online business magazine The Industry Standard and writes a weekly media column for New York magazine. He is the author of the best-selling NetGuide and the NetBooks series, which includes thirty titles. He is the author of White Kids and coauthor of Where We Stand, which was adapted into a PBS television series. He currently resides in New York City.
