I'd love to read the book but I'd love it even more if you could give an overview of the sentiments echoed in "Hatching Twitter".
The book credits him with seeding the concept for Twitter, but certainly not for fleshing it out. At a very early stage, Jack was ousted as CEO and left with no role at Twitter other than a board seat with no actual voting rights. While the rest of the team made the product what it is today, and scaled the business to .5bn users, Jack was on the outside doing nothing. Despite this he pandered extensively to the media lying about his non-existent role at the company and daubing himself the 'inventor' of Twitter.
All that said, I've enjoyed watching some of Jack's talks, and I think Square is incredible (more so than Twitter).
