Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley is a bold and revealing business memoir by Antonio García Martínez, now available in Ukrainian translation and hardcover from Наш Формат (2018). At 528 pages (140×210 mm), this edition immerses readers in the raw, chaotic world of Silicon Valley through Martínez's eyes—an insider who has worked for startups, Facebook, and Twitter
In this candid narrative, Martínez dismantles the myth of startup glamour, portraying tech entrepreneurs as the "chaos monkeys" of society—disruptive, unpredictable, and often reckless. Through sharp, provocative prose, he critiques the digital economy: likening investors to people with too much money and not enough time, and marketing to something only losers pay for. This is not a sanitized corporate story, but a deeply human voyage into ambition, failure, and hubris in the tech ecosystem
Filled with compelling personal anecdotes—from boardroom tantrums to algorithmic breakdowns—Chaos Monkeys exposes the darker side of innovation culture. Readers learn how startups can cannibalize old industries, how data became currency, and how ego and money often overshadow vision.
This Ukrainian edition is an essential read for business professionals, tech lovers, and curious readers alike. Perfect as a provocative gift or a conversation starter, the memoir offers both entertainment and cautionary insight.
