In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs--a real-life Tony Stark--and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new "makers."

Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his Internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius's life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits.

Vance uses Musk's story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk--one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history--is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy.

Thorough and insightful, Elon Musk brings to life a technology industry that is rapidly and dramatically changing by examining the life of one of its most powerful and influential titans.

Gorgeous Color!
Color: Coffee, Color: Coffee
I am very happy with the color of this purse the inside pockets and zipped pockets, a total of 4, allows for neat organization of all my items such as phone, cosmetics, sunglasses, tissues, perfume, mints and etc... I love the gun metal colored hardware. The zippers move smoothly. The crossbody strap is long enough for my 6' frame and sits right at my hip when I use the last buckle hole. All the stitching is complete and tight. Speaking of stitching, I removed a star because the inside pockets are sewn on and shows on the back of the purse. I don't like having to check if my purse is facing the right way. For the price of this purse the stitching should not be showing. The interior lining is a cloth-like fabric. The inside zipped pockets are full size and lay on top of each other. This is different from what I've seen in other purses. When the purse is full, the top pocket slightly covers the main compartment bottom from view. I will be sure to put something somewhat flat in that pocket to avoid this. There is no offensive odor from shipping. Because of the stitching issue, I cannot recommend to others without point this out.

Doctor Doctor-give me the news!!! This purse is…
Color: Black, Color: Black
Amazing!!! This is an updated review because the seller sent me a replacement. I use this bag for photography. It’s easy to reach into and set down as needed. There’s room for one body and two lenses and multiple accessories. I use a wrist grip and do street photography. I don’t like to carry my camera around my neck and draw attention. This bag is perfect for keeping my camera in between shots. The bags interior is super soft and the leather itself on the outside feels high-quality and is stitched very well. Being footed is an extra great quality so that I feel confident setting it down. The extra long strap is great, as a large bag like this needs to be worn as a crossbody for most people I upgraded to a wide strap for the weight of my camera system. I always update my reviews in a year. So I will come back and let you know how it’s holding up! (Old review) ***********Arrived with someone else’s complaint already prepared for me! What an entrance!! She was right, the tag and bag don’t match. It is the bag I ordered but…. VERY VERY DAMAGED!!! For this much money, where is the quality control? Someone else’s return, and multiple gauges throughout the leather of the bag? I uploaded about 5 different places where the leather is gauged-and then stopped photographing. Sadly, I think this is a good bag - a bit overpriced, and small, the zipper is iffy as well but clearly the bag isn’t a keeper in this condition. Shame on the seller.

Versatile small tote
Perfect for use as a larger purse or a small tote. I carry a very minimalist/tiny purse, so this bag is the perfect day bag for me. Fits my purse, water bottle, tablet, sunglasses, and pretty much whatever else I need to throw in. I was pleasantly surprised by how well designed the interior of this bag is in terms of different compartments/pockets to organize your stuff. The canvas fabric is substantial. I have machine washed it (in a lingerie bag and then and dried flat) and it came out great. I would absolutely buy again (and will if it’s still available when my current one wears out!).

My favorite bag
I was looking for a moderately sized bag with shoulder straps, pockets for organization, and a rigid bottom. I needed it to be just right, in a very specific way, and this more than meets my expectations. This has a great pocket on the back with a heavy duty zipper that's just right for a wallet or a phone. It's got a couple of zippered inner pockets, one of which is part of a separator that divides the bag almost in half. There are open pockets on the other side that are large enough for a sunglasses case or maybe a water bottle. You could easily put books, food, makeup, diapers, whatever you need in this bag. It's heavy duty, easy to organize, and sleek to carry. I've been carrying it daily for several weeks and it has shown literally no signs of wear. It's in excellent shape, although I've been stuffing it full and schlepping it everywhere. I can't recommend this bag too highly if you want a heavy duty, medium sized, minimal looking bag, with tons of organization options. It's my favorite bag, hands down, and think it will last me many years.
