I have to disagree. I enjoyed the use of metaphor, and actually highlighted several on my Kindle.

# "Zuck had once famously derided [Twitter] as 'a clown car that drove into a gold mine'"

# "One of the Harvard mafiosi got into the habit of theatening engineers that he'd "punch them in the face" if they messed up. Quod licet Bozi, non licet bovi. Gods may do what cattle may not."

# "Eventually, Russia, India, Brazil and parts of Africa will fall into the Growth team's patient ministrations. Then, Mark Zuckerberg, like a young Alexander the Great at the Indus River, will weep for having no more world to conquer."
