Conspiracy
Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue
Ryan Holiday
Discover the shocking true story of how one billionaire, Peter Thiel, masterminded a multi-year plot to take down Gawker Media after they outed him as gay. Author Ryan Holiday takes you on a deep dive into the conspiracy that ultimately resulted in a $140 million dollar judgment against Gawker, its bankruptcy and with Nick Denton, Gawker's CEO and founder, out of a job. Through detailed interviews with key players, Conspiracy is a brilliant study in power, strategy, and one of the most wildly ambitious--and successful--secret plots in recent memory.
