Dan Lyons visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss his book, "Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble".

When he lost his job at Newsweek, Lyons - who had long reported on Silicon Valley companies - accepted an offer from HubSpot, a red-hot Boston startup, as a "marketing fellow". Non-hilarity ensued.

Dan Lyons is a novelist, journalist, and screenwriter. He is currently a co-producer and -writer for the HBO series Silicon Valley. Previously, he was technology editor at Newsweek and the creator of the viral blog "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs" (a/k/a "Fake Steve Jobs"). He has written for the New York Times Magazine, GQ, Vanity Fair, and Wired.
