Chen exposes a systematic pattern of toxic behaviors within some of the most prominent tech companies.

The relentless pursuit of growth and innovation creates a culture of fear and intense pressure, driving many employees to burnout and even suicide.

Chen also delves into the role of charismatic leaders who create a cult-like atmosphere within these companies. These leaders, often founders or CEOs, command unwavering loyalty from their employees, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. However, behind their charismatic facades, Chen uncovers a pattern of manipulation and control.
