I haven't read "The Innovators" but I've heard good things about it. However, Isaacson's recent Musk biography was pretty widely acknowledged as being a hagiography, and the NY Times reporters who wrote "Character Limit" about the Twitter takeover revealed that Isaacson was giving Musk advice on Twitter UX and business decisions while supposedly writing an objective biography. I'd definitely recommend "Character Limit" if you're interested in that saga - it's thoroughly reported and includes some wild details about how chaotic and destructive the whole thing was. Reading "Hackers" as a kid, this wasn't quite the tech industry I thought I was signing up for.
