Disruption, Inc.

A railroad tycoon from 1893 crash-lands into a San Francisco tech startup's launch party—and nobody bats an eye. Horace Crandall, complete with mutton chops and a Gilded Age playbook for crushing competition, is mistaken for a reclusive genius investor by co-founders Priya Samuels and Brent Hoffmann. His ruthless advice on monopoly-building is hailed as visionary disruption, but as burnout spreads and competitors fall, Priya begins to wonder whether Silicon Valley's newest guru is less prophet than cautionary tale.
