What could be better to drive book sales than a super successful tech company not so secretly trying to squelch your muckraking, hilarious and soon to be published book.

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.

 

<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.
