Over the course of more than a year, Rivlin shadowed LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, whom the Wall Street Journal once called, “the most connected person in Silicon Valley.” Through Hoffman, Reid enjoyed access to numerous founders and venture capitalists during this pivotal moment in the evolution of AI technology. A Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter, Rivlin has been writing about technology since the mid-1990s and the rise of the internet.
