Sobre este título

“A perfectly executed, exquisitely reported parable of the Internet age and the wild, mad adventure that is start-up culture.”—Charles Duhigg

Fortune, mania, genius, philanthropy—the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Mountains Beyond Mountains presents an “expertly reported [and] deftly written” (San Francisco Chronicle) account of Paul English, the founder of Kayak and Lola.

In A Truck Full of Money, Tracy Kidder, the “master of the nonfiction narrative” (The Baltimore Sun), tells the story of Paul English, a kinetic and unconventional inventor and entrepreneur, who as a boy rebelled against authority. Growing up in working-class Boston, English discovers a medium for his talents the first time he sees a computer. As a young man, despite suffering from what would eventually be diagnosed as bipolar disorder, he begins his pilgrim’s journey through the ups and downs in the brave new world of computers. Relating to the Internet as if it’s an extension of his own mind, English discovers that he has a talent for conceiving innovative enterprises and building teams that can develop them, becoming “a Pied Piper” of geeks.

With the power of a consummate storyteller, Tracy Kidder casts a fresh, critical, and often humorous eye on the way new ideas and new money are reshaping our culture and the world. A Truck Full of Money takes us inside the mind of a mesmerizing figure who is unique and yet a representative creature of our entrepreneurial age—bold, big-hearted, and as unpredictable as America itself.
