The Billion Dollar Idiot: The clueless underdog who might just outsmart them all (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781036932411)

Meet Barry.
A sweaty, middle-aged dreamer with a gift for failure, a mountain of debt and exactly one good idea left in him. It's bold. It's brilliant. It's probably a disaster in waiting. But it's all he has.

So Barry leaves London for Silicon Valley with nothing but a suitcase full of PowerPoints, a dangerously optimistic attitude and a stubborn belief that this idea will make him billions. If the tech bros don't steal it. If the bankers don't crush it. If the VCs don't ghost him. And if Micky Roughton - a legendary Hollywood producer with suspiciously white teeth - doesn't cut him out entirely.

The Billion Dollar Idiot is a fast, funny rollercoaster through the absurd worlds of tech, money, ego and delusion. One minute you're cheering; the next you're cackling; then you're hiding behind a cushion as Barry blunders yet again.

If you've ever worked with lunatics, charlatans, visionaries, or people who think they're all three... welcome home.

A laugh-out-loud underdog story about ambition, delusion and the joy of fighting giants - even when you're the wrong man for the job.
