Born to Be Wired:: Lessons from a Lifetime Transforming Television Wiring America for the Internet and Growing Formula One Discovery SiriusXM and the Atlanta Braves

<b>If you've ever streamed a show on HBO Max seen a Formula One race hummed a tune on SiriusXM bought concert tickets via Ticketmaster or watched an Atlanta Braves game you've crossed paths with John Malone. You just didn't know it.</b> <p/>John Malone remains a stranger to most people though millions have been touched by the technologies and content he made possible. <p/>In <i>Born to Be Wired</i> this legendary cable cowboy shares stories from behind the scenes of the most transformative deals in media entertainment and technology. He recounts the extraordinary saga of how America was wired--how a single copper strand evolved from a rural TV-antenna service into a high-speed backbone powering the internet and clearing the path for Amazon Facebook and Google. <p/> Malone offers an insider's account of launching television's first cable networks--including Discovery TBS QVC and BET--and the strategy behind era-defining mergers from Warner Bros. Discovery to Live Nation Entertainment. His Liberty Media ventures including Formula One have delivered long-term returns often compared to Berkshire Hathaway. <p/> More than a business story this is a personal reflection--from a quiet kid with a mechanic's curiosity to a media visionary confronting the costs and consequences of disruption in an industry he helped reshape. <p/> Trained at the storied Bell Labs and gifted with a mathematical mind Malone saw patterns in complexity. Where others saw chaos he saw systems--and reconfigured companies with the precision of an engineer unlocking value no one else could see. <p/> Sweeping revealing and deeply human <i>Born to Be Wired</i> offers a rare glimpse into the logic--and the life--behind the screen.
