Del autor de Steve Jobs y otras grandes biografías, todas ellas éxitos internacionales de ventas, esta es la historia asombrosamente íntima del innovador más fascinante y polémico del mundo, un visionario que ha roto todos los moldes y ha conducido al mundo a la era de los vehículos eléctricos, la exploración espacial privada y la inteligencia artificial. Ah, y el mismo que compró Twitter. Cuando Elon Musk era un niño en Sudáfrica, sufría a menudo acoso escolar. Un día un grupo de niños lo empujó por unas escaleras de hormigón y le patearon hasta que su cara se hinchó como una pelota. Pasó una semana en el hospital. Pero las cicatrices físicas fueron insignificantes comparadas con las emocionales, las que le había causado su padre, un canalla, ingeniero carismático y fantasioso. Cuando Elon llegó a casa tras ser dado de alta del hospital, su padre le reprendió. «Tuve que escucharlo durante una hora mientras me gritaba, me llamaba idiota y me decía que era un inútil», recuerda. El impacto psicológico que su padre le causó perduró. Se convirtió en un joven fuerte pero vulnerable al mismo tiempo, propenso a bruscos cambios de humor -a lo Jekyll y Hyde-, con una gran tolerancia al riesgo, ansias de drama, un épico sentido de misión y una intensidad maníaca, cruel y a veces destructiva. A principios de 2022, después de un año marcado por el lanzamiento de treinta y un satélites de SpaceX, la venta de un millón de coches de Tesla y de convertirse en el hombre más rico de la tierra, Musk confesó con arrepentimiento su impulso por provocar el drama. «Necesito cambiar mi forma de pensar para que deje de estar en modo crisis, como lo he estado en los últimos catorce años, o probablemente toda mi vida», explicó. Fue un comentario melancólico, no un propósito de año nuevo. Cuando hizo la promesa, estaba comprando en secreto acciones de Twitter, el patio de recreo por excelencia. Con los años, cuando se encontraba en un momento difícil, se veía transportado de nuevo al acoso que sufrió en el patio del colegio. Ahora tenía la oportunidad de poseerlo. Durante dos años, Isaacson fue la sombra de Musk, asistió a sus reuniones, recorrió juntos sus fábricas, y pasó horas entrevistándolo a él, a su familia, amigos, compañeros y adversarios. El resultado es un relato íntimo y revelador, repleto de historias asombrosas, triunfos y perturbaciones, que aborda la pregunta: ¿son los demonios que mueven a Musk también lo que se necesita para impulsar la innovación y el progreso? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era--a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter. When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist. His father's impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive. At the beginning of 2022--after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth--Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. "I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life," he said. It was a wistful comment, not a New Year's resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world's ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground. For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?Shipping Notes

Good Graphic Novel
Format: Paperback
A good graphic novel full of action and well-done graphics. The story is fast paced and will keep your interest. The plot is well told and holds the premise for further stories in a series. A good read.

Extremely fun!
Format: Paperback
I couldn't stop laughing while reading this. It's very well written, well drawn, and the overall quality (both physical & story wise) is very good. Just finished reading this volume, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Ogami (the main protagonist) is a very fun character to follow through his dilemmas. Definitely looking forward to reading Volume 2!

pretty funny for a 39 year old, but...
Format: Kindle
I loved the premise of a "middle aged" hitman turning into a middle school boy, but there are some iffy bits for teens.
When a divorced, middle aged hitman is turned into a middle school boy, shenanigans happen.
I'm not sure if Kill Blue is a dark crime or school life comedy manga; I think it's a bit of both.
The author does a great job portraying how adults see the current generation, obsessed with social media, etc. I loved how our grouchy, introverted ML starts to love learning, and begrudgingly becomes more social. He has a typical goofy sidekick and other side characters. The FL is a beautiful (?) middle school girl who keeps being hassled by teen boys and enemies of her father, and the ML reluctantly steps in to help.
If you like this kind of manga, I'd recommend Sakamito Days, where the ML is already happily married.
********Spoiler Alert*********
The whole idea that " I'll have to marry a middle school girl", when I'm really a 39 year old man is creepy. Even if the 39 yr old is in a middle school body. If this manga turns into a long series, and his character marries the girl, it will still be creepy. That's my parental concern.

Fun series starter
Format: Kindle
This was fun. Juzo Ogami is 39, legendary assassin and a divorced father of one. A bee sting transforms his body back to a 13-year-old’s, so his boss sends him to scout a middle school for his daughter—as a student there.
It’s not easy for Ogami, who is a school drop-out and doesn’t know how to talk to children. On a first day, he’s pegged to be the class loser. But to his surprise, he discovers he loves learning. If only he could study in peace, but all sorts of pervs and kidnappers disturb the students and he has no choice but to step in. Anonymously.
The real trouble begins when the scientist trying to find a solution to his age problem—his ex-wife—learns that to infiltrate the pharmaseutical company responsible for the age drug, Ogami needs to marry the owner’s daughter, who just happens to be his classmate. No way is he going to date a girl the same age as his daughter, not even to save her from worse suitors. Right?
This was a fun start to a series. Ogami was slightly different age-change protagonist with his world-weariness and clear understanding of what is appropriate for someone his age. He changes a lot during the first volume already. It will be fun to see where that’ll lead. Art was good.
