The new book ‘Elon Musk’ by Walter Isaacson, is a biography based on interviews with Musk himself and many of his key family, friends and collaborators, and it’s been making headlines around the world for the revelations into the Tesla/Space X nerd-genius.
The book is a big old 600-pages but is actually a quick read; a lightly written, almost gossipy whizz through his life that has been criticised in some quarters for failing to seriously interrogate the most difficult issues or find meaning in Musk’s remarkable rise even as it spills the beans.
