Ashlee Vance is one of the most prominent writers on technology today.

"[A] spirited and riveting biography."--Wall Street Journal
"[T]his work will likely serve as the definitive account of a man
whom so far we've seen mostly through caricature. By the final
pages, too, any reader will sense the need to put comparisons to
Steve Jobs aside. Give Musk credit. There is no one like him."--New
York Times Book Review
"Fascinating and superbly researched..."--The Guardian UK
"Mr. Vance tells the stories of both SpaceX and Tesla with
intricacy and insight. . . . What does come through is a sense of
legitimate wonder at what humans can accomplish when they aim high,
and aim weird.--Dwight Garner, New York Times
"The SpaceX and Tesla founder certainly sees setbacks as an
unavoidable part of innovation. But a brilliant new biography
paints a picture of him as an obsessive, intolerant
perfectionist."--Financial Times
