LAST NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO

In the early morning hours of April 4, 2023, a man was found stumbling through the dark streets of San Francisco. Before help could arrive, he collapsed, bleeding profusely from three stab wounds.

For days, the public had no idea who he was or what had happened. Rumors flew — he had been the victim of a robbery gone wrong. He had been killed by a homeless person, or someone in the grips of a violent psychosis. His death seemed to sum up everything wrong with San Francisco — the city was dangerous, dirty, and despairing.

The truth was something very different.

LAST NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO tells the story of the life and death of Bob Lee, the creator of Cash App and a prominent executive in the technology industry. Deeply reported and stylishly written, it tells not only his story but the story of the city that San Francisco has become during the long decades of the technology boom.
