I am reading the text version, and it is indeed all quotes throughout. The first chapter is the most awkward, both from the author figuring out how the format works and the reader adapting to it. Three chapters in it reads just as smoothly as another book. The great thing about the all-quotes format is you get a real sense of the personalities and there’s less author bias.

I really like it, learned a lot of interesting factoids about SV’s history. Some fascinating patterns, like how everyone thinks things turned to crap right after their big thing failed.




Thanks!
