📚 Book Review: Conspiracy by Ryan Holiday 👍
Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue
I listened to this book rather than reading it. Either way you get it, this is an awesome book. It will challenge what you think about the suit by Hulk Hogan against Gawker. The story unfolds like a Greek tragedy or a tale from the House of Medici. Flawed characters and tragic missteps abound. Holiday sets out to present the facts without editorializing (and does a great job). He also weaves his substantial knowledge of Greek and Stoic philosophy into the tale.
Highly recommend this book. I have re-listened to it three times now! This video of the author speaking at the Strand should give you an impression of why I like it.
