The Secret of Unicorn Companies: Software Development and Work Styles Learned at Spotify was an insightful read.
It offers insights into the organizational theory and culture of unicorn companies.
As mentioned in the actor's afterword, unicorn companies do not practice Scrum. Depending on how you perceive this, it might change your impression by the end of the book.
Personally, I see it as moving beyond Scrum, reaching the 'Ri' stage of Shu-Ha-Ri. The book's main theme (the secret) seems to be about what kind of culture and qualities support growth, regardless of methodology.
