Billion Dollar Loser

The book reads like a fictional out-of-this-world thriller you can't put down. From an investor who gets showered with fire-retardant foam after committing a check, to CEO Adam Neumann instructing the building designers to implement a duct in his office to surreptitiously suck out the smell of weed.

Then again, I feel the book shows a predominantly negative sentiment towards all the effort Neumann put into building WeWork. The line between a convincing and visionary founder and an entrepreneurial conman is inherently vague, but author Wiedeman does not always view Neumann's actions as more nuanced.
