Ashlee Vance - Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future

One day, ten years from now, Americans could wake up to the most modern highway in the world: a transit system run by thousands of solar-powered charging stations and transversed by electric cars. We may see launches of rocket ships daily, full of people and things, preparing for longer treks to Mars. And it may all be thanks to South African-born Elon Musk, who is on track to become America’s most innovative industrialist and outlandish thinker ever to set foot in Silicon Valley. Now, in a new illuminating book, Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, written with unprecedented access to Musk, journalist Ashlee Vance examines the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley’s most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs—a real-life Tony Stark.

Ashlee Vance, a writer at Bloomberg Businessweek, is one of the most prominent writers on technology today. After spending several years reporting on Silicon Valley and technology for the New York Times, Vance made the move to Businessweek, where he has consistently delivered ground-breaking cover stories for the magazine on everything from international cyber-spying to 3D printers to “the Singularity.”
