This is the remarkable behind-the-scenes story of the creation and growth of Airbnb, the online lodging platform that has become, in under a decade, the largest provider of accommodations in the world. At first just the wacky idea of cofounders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb has disrupted the $500 billion hotel industry, and its $30 billion valuation is now larger than that of Hilton and close to that of Marriott. Airbnb is beloved by the millions of members in its “host” community and the travelers they shelter every night. And yet, even as the company has blazed such an unexpected path, this is the first book solely dedicated to the phenomenon of Airbnb.
Fortune editor Leigh Gallagher explores the success of Airbnb along with the more controversial side of its story. Regulators want to curb its rapid expansion; hotel industry leaders wrestle with the disruption it has caused them; and residents and customers alike struggle with the unintended consequences of opening up private homes for public consumption. This is also the first in‑depth study of Airbnb's leader, Brian Chesky, the quirky and curious young CEO, as he steers the company into new markets and increasingly uncharted waters.

評分##作者拿腔拿調很討厭,Chesky應該比書裏寫的有趣多瞭。

評分##“Belonging anywhere,” the company’s mission,wasn’t just a single moment, it was a transformation people experienced when they traveled on Airbnb. It has redefined how we look at the space around us and how we view strangers. It has changed how we travel, opening up a new market for “alternative accommodations”.
評分##畢竟不是創始人自己寫的
評分##書裏麵的故事和the upstarts有至少八成的重疊,是什麼讓兩個不同的作者在同一年齣版的兩本書中産生這麼多重復?我能想到的唯一閤理解釋就是這傢公司的PR直接把添加瞭濾鏡的公司發展史發給瞭兩個作者,後者再簡單修改一下然後齣版。沒有可信度。不過也能看齣作者的水平:這位比寫瞭兩本亞馬遜傳記的那位寫的糟糕得多。
