ISBN:  9780062458193 (hc.) Description:  xi, 515 pages ; 24 cm Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "Imagine a chimpanzee rampaging through a datacenter. Infrastructure engineers use a software version of this "chaos monkey" to test online services' robustness - their ability to survive random failure and prevent mistakes. Tech entrepreneurs are society's chaos monkeys, disruptors testing and transforming every aspect of our lives, from transportation (Uber) and lodging (AirBnB) to television (Netflix) and dating (Tinder). One of Silicon Valley's chaos monkeys is Antonio García Martínez. He joined Facebook's nascent advertising team, turning its users' data into profit for COO Sheryl Sandberg and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Forced out in the wake of an internal product war over the future of the company's monetization strategy, García got a job at rival Twitter. He also fathered two children with a woman he barely knew, committed lewd acts and brewed beer on the Facebook campus, lived on a sailboat, raced sport cars on the 101, and enthusiastically pursued the life of an overpaid Silicon Valley wastrel. Now, he unravels the chaotic evolution of social media and online marketing and reveals how it is invading our lives and shaping our future. Weighing in on everything from startups and credit derivatives to Big Brother and data tracking, social media monetization and digital privacy, Martínez shares his observations and antics, taking us on a humorous tour of the tech industry. Antonio Garcia Martinez formerly worked at Facebook and Twitter. He is now the CEO of AdGrok, an ad tech company owned by Twitter"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
