Consider Zero to One by Peter Thiel. Recommended by 62 sources.
“A contrarian manifesto on building startups that create new categories rather than competing in existing ones. Thiel draws from PayPal and his investments in Facebook to argue that the best businesses are monopolies that avoid competition entirely.

It reads like a sharp dinner argument with someone often right in a way that is uncomfortable to admit.”
