The tech industry has a central role in shaping our work, our communication, and even our identities. Its mythology is woven into the products and services we use on a daily basis. So understanding how the people leading the tech industry think—how they perceive their own stories and generate their own hype—is a solid step toward making sense of what can seem so nonsensical.And there is one book I go back to over and over again when I need to make sense of our mythologies of disruption and failure, value and genius—and that's What Tech Calls Thinking by Adrian Daub.In this episode, I share 3 ideas from that book that help me make sense of the headlines shaping politics, business, and work.Footnotes:<ul><li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/17354/9780374538644">What Tech Calls Thinking</a> by Adrian Daub</li><li>"<a href="https://episodes.fm/1696774612/episode/Njk0ZjQ4NzktY2I3MS00OTZiLThkM2YtZTZjOWJkZmJhOWFh">Mark Zuckerberg</a>" on In Bed With The Right</li></ul>Find a text version of this episode at <a href="http://whatworks.fyi">whatworks.fyi</a>!
