Infrastructure engineers use a software version of this chaos monkey to test online services robustnesstheir ability to survive random failure and correct mistakes before they actually occur. Tech entrepreneurs are societys chaos monkeys, disruptors testing and transforming every aspect of our lives, from transportation (Uber) and lodging (AirBnB) to television (Netflix) and dating (Tinder). One of Silicon Valleys most audacious chaos monkeys is Antonio García Martínez.
After stints on Wall Street and as CEO of his own startup, García Martínez joined Facebooks nascent advertising team, turning its users data into profit for COO Sheryl Sandberg and chairman and CEO Mark Zuck Zuckerberg. Forced out in the wake of an internal product war over the future of the companys monetization strategy, García Martínez eventually landed at rival Twitter.

The question is, will we survive?
