Answer, nothing; and all the more fodder for the amusement and delight of supporters on both sides. [Disrupted](http://www.amazon.com/Disrupted-My-Misadventure-Start-Up-Bubble/dp/0316306088) has already hit the NY Times top 5 best seller list on its first week.   [![disrupted_cover.jpg](https://www.shift90.partners/hs-fs/hubfs/disrupted_cover.jpg?width=225&height=345&name=disrupted_cover.jpg "disrupted_cover.jpg")](http://www.amazon.com/Disrupted-My-Misadventure-Start-Up-Bubble/dp/0316306088)Well known in tech circles by his psuedonym “**Fake Steve Jobs**,” a writer on the **HBO series “Silicon Valley**”, **Dan Lyon’s** new book, **“Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Startup Bubble”** is a memoir about his stint at HubSpot, a marketing software firm whose stock price has more than doubled since an initial public offering last fall. Dan Lyons book tour stopped at [Keplers Books](http://www.amazon.com/Disrupted-My-Misadventure-Start-Up-Bubble/dp/0316306088) in Menlo Park tonight. Dan hit all the notes in wit and rancour, detailing his own experience at HubSpot and observations in general about the Silicon Valley youth culture from a “mature” perspective.  Lyon’s describes the Hubspot experience as “The office vibe was frat house meets cult compound,” and “nerf gun fights broke out at lunch; and absent bosses specialized in cryptic, jargon-filled emails.” A worthy read by all accounts and will post a review as a comment to this article. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ###### [** Previous Post](https://www.shift90.partners/blog/the-7-deadly-sins-of-virtual-selling-plus-one) [![7 deadly sins cover](https://www.shift90.partners/hubfs/Untitled%20presentation.jpg) ](https://www.shift90.partners/blog/the-7-deadly-sins-of-virtual-selling-plus-one) ###### [The 7 Deadly Sins of Virtual Selling Plus One](https://www.shift90.partners/blog/the-7-deadly-sins-of-virtual-selling-plus-one) ###### [Next Post **](https://www.shift90.partners/blog/baseline-selling-by-dave-kurlan-a-home-run-for-sales-people) [![](https://www.shift90.partners/hs-fs/file-14048480-jpg/images/baseline_selling.jpg) ](https://www.shift90.partners/blog/baseline-selling-by-dave-kurlan-a-home-run-for-sales-people) ###### [Baseline Selling by Dave Kurlan - A Home-run for sales people](https://www.shift90.partners/blog/baseline-selling-by-dave-kurlan-a-home-run-for-sales-people) ##### Title Goes Here Title Goes Here ##### Title Goes Here Title Goes Here ##### Title Goes Here Title Goes Here ##### Recent News ** ** ** ** ** ** [![CLEAN-logo-white](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/507386/hubfs/CLEAN-logo-white.png?width=70&height=35&name=CLEAN-logo-white.png "CLEAN-logo-white")](https://www.Shift90.partners) Copyright © 2020 Your Company, Inc. ** [![Shift90](https://www.shift90.partners/hs-fs/hubfs/Shift90%20logo%20RGB%20copy%20Large.png?width=213&height=35&name=Shift90%20logo%20RGB%20copy%20Large.png "Shift90")](https://www.Shift90.partners) Copyright © 2022 Why Change Selling - All Rights Reserved. **
