Before he had a driver's license, Ryan Merket was leading a global software cracking group from his Texas bedroom—the only business school he ever attended. Hacker's Edge is the improbable story of how that unconventional education propelled him from the digital underground to the halls of Facebook, Amazon, and Reddit.

But this is not a story about stock options and catered lunches. It's an unflinching look at the brutal cost of ambition: a battle with addiction that nearly ended his life, a marriage that buckled under the strain of startup culture, and a humiliating professional failure that coincided with a debilitating health crisis.

At his lowest point, a venture capitalist told him he lacked the “killer instinct” to win. He was right. Merket's edge wasn't being a killer; it was being the guy who had already been broken and knew how to get back up.

Raw, witty, and deeply moving, this memoir is a testament to the power of resilience and a survival guide for the underdog in a world obsessed with ruthless tactics.
