    South African born Elon Musk is the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity.

He is the real-life inspiration for the Iron Man series of films starring Robert Downey Junior.The personal tale of Musk s life comes with all the trappings one associates with a great, drama-filled story. He was a freakishly bright kid who was bullied brutally at school, and abused by his father. In the midst of these rough conditions, and the violence of apartheid South Africa, Musk still thrived academically and attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he paid his own way through school by turning his house into a club and throwing massive parties.He started a pair of huge dot-com successes, including PayPal, which eBay acquired for $1.5 billion in 2002. Musk was forced out as CEO and so began his lost years in which he decided to go it alone and baffled friends by investing his fortune in rockets and electric cars. Meanwhile Musk s marriage disintegrated as his technological obsessions took over his life ...Elon Musk is the Steve Jobs of the present and the future, and for the past twelve months, he has been shadowed by tech reporter, Ashlee Vance. Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of Spacex and Tesla is Shaping our Future is an important, exciting and intelligent account of the real-life Iron Man.

    Willkommen im Wilden Westen der Raumfahrttechnik!Ashlee Vance, Bestsellerautor der millionenfach verkauften Ausnahmebiografie über Elon Musk, erzählt die Geschichte von Pionierunternehmen, die völlig neuartige Raumfahrtsysteme bauen und versuchen, Raketen- und Satellitenstarts schnell und billig zu machen und so die erdnahe Umlaufbahn für die Wirtschaft zu erschließen - und sie zum nächsten Spielfeld für den technologischen Fortschritt der Menschheit zu entwickeln. Für seine Recherchen reiste Vance an die entlegensten Orte der Welt - von den USA bis Neuseeland, von der Ukraine bis Indien. Noch nie zuvor hatte ein Journalist einen so beispiellosen Zugang zu den Unternehmen, ihren Laboren und den streng geheimen Startplätzen auf der ganzen Welt. Er enthüllt das spektakuläre Chaos des neuen Weltraumgeschäfts, indem er zeigt, was passiert, wenn die idealistischen, ehrgeizigen und gleichsam klügsten Köpfe des Silicon Valley ihre ungezügelte Vision auf die grenzenlose Weite des Universums richten. Es ist nicht weniger als die wahrscheinlich bahnbrechendste und gleichsam kontroverseste Technologiegeschichte unserer Zeit, eine Geschichte faszinierender Charaktere, die beim Wettlauf um den Weltraum unvorstellbare Ziele verfolgen
