"In the end, Bilton’s book does a service. In a society that idolizes tech founders, it is healthy to be reminded that they are so often ordinary young men who just happened to be the ones pulling the lever when three bars came up."
Tim Wu, The Washington Post
"Bilton tells the story with verve. "
Oliver Burkeman, The Guardian
"Bilton, a reporter for The New York Times, does an admirable job recreating the boardroom dramas that threatened to destroy it in its infancy. Interviewing all four of the founders as well as other major players in Twitter’s creation, Bilton offers the best look yet at how the famously troubled company survived to go public."
Casey Newton, The Verge
"Bilton's excellent book rivals The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon in its scope
and unflinching honesty. Through copious research and interviews, Bilton weaves together the heretofore untold story of one of the most influential companies of our times."
Phil Simon, Huffington Post
"One of the book’s great qualities is that it shines light not just on conflicting personalities, but how those personalities influenced what Twitter is, and what it was and what it might have been."
Mat Honan, Wired
"The story behind the most richly anticipated tech IPO since Facebook in May 2012 is rife with Byzantine-like intrigue, character clashes and broken dreams."
Jon Swartz, USA Today
