內容簡介

內容簡介 【誠品選書】 《矽谷金童的遠大志向,竟與人類未來息息相關!》 隨著一代科技巨擘賈伯斯的殞落,誰將是宰制21世紀科技的關鍵人物?他是鋼鐵人角色設定的原型,他的夢想是帶領人類移民火星,他是PayPal創始人──Elon Musk。有夢就追,懷有遠大抱負的他從IT起家,卻能在現今的汽車及航太產業中佔有一席之地,身兼Tesla、SpaceX執行長,他已然是新一代跨產業盟主。透過作者的近身觀察與訪談,看Musk如何從一個南非裔移民,躍身成為矽谷炙手可熱的科技金童。堅毅如他,也許真能帶領人類實現移民太空的終極夢想。 美國最令人景仰,被評為全球最性感的CEO。 年僅43歲,目前身價為93億美金,從白手起家變成了億萬富翁。 現實生活中的鋼鐵人。 Elon Musk, 這位在南非出生,美國長大,大學都沒畢業,堪稱矽谷最大膽的創業家,PayPal的創辦人,成功賣給eBay,獲得人生第一個成功,後創辦Tesla和Space X兩間十分具有創新力的企業,它們在電動汽車領域和商用航空航太領域做出了巨大創新,究竟有何能耐,讓他能夠有這番成就,並且繼續影響全球人的未來? 作者花了30個小時與Musk近身對談,並採訪了300位與Musk以及他公司有過互動者之間的故事,深入了解他與他的企業,如何成為改變世界的影響力;並將他與愛迪生,亨利福特,霍華休斯, 賈伯斯等其他偉大同樣具有發明家與企業家身分者,進行比較,甚至有過之的Musk,更在致力追求累積財富,並且不斷將幻想落實的大發明家,進行前所未有、空前的發明創舉,舉世矚目。 In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs--a real-life Tony Stark--and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new "makers." Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his Internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius's life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits. Vance uses Musk's story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk--one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history--is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy. Thorough and insightful, Elon Musk brings to life a technology industry that is rapidly and dramatically changing by examining the life of one of its most powerful and influential titans.
