A review by riviwriter
Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue by Ryan Holiday

3.0

I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator had an interesting tone/rhythm which made the book appealing to listen to. The book was okay, it wasn't great. If you were someone who followed the story of the rise and fall of Gawker or Hulk Hogan's sex tape, it would definitely be a fascinating read. It kind of gives the background story of how it all went down, the players, the background actors, and its effect on journalism as a whole. It felt very much like an academic read, and I could easily see it assigned as a text for a journalism or media studies course. I wouldn't recommend it as a fun read but it was interesting and I appreciated the insight it gave me into the world of internet journalism and the specific case regarding Gawker and Peter Thiel.
