A memoir by American businessman and Chairman and Senior Executive of IAC and Expedia Group, and founder of the Fox Broadcasting Company and USA Broadcasting.
A glimpse into the micro-mechanics of consumer capitalism, in forms that are still eccentric enough to be entertaining ... Sometimes moving ... Diller is a good narrator of his own life, though reading him naturally raises the question of how reliable any of us are when assessing our effect on the world ... Engaging detail ... The second half of the book, though far less glamorous—and far less entertaining—than the first, is arguably more significant, if only because it describes changes that, for good or ill, reshaped more of the media world.
There’s something reassuring about Diller believing it’s worth his while, and ours, to issue entertainment in such an old-fashioned delivery unit ... Detail and discretion (or maybe the limits of memory) do a funny kind of battle in Who Knew. It’s a tell-some.
