I recently read The Founders, which is the story of PayPal. I found it to be an enjoyable read.

This book leaned pretty hard on being about the story of the collective and not so much the notorious individuals. Interestingly, I also recently read the biography on Peter Thiel called The Contrarian which paints the whole PayPal thing in a much more "Thiel-esque" hardcore libertarianism.

Both books are what they are and good all around reads. I'd recommend them, with the caveat of advising people: Don't worship these people and don't worship tycoons in general. πŸ₯²

I added "The Founders" on my reading list, thank you for mentioning it. So many intesting books, so little time to read 😁.
