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.
John Malone remains a stranger to most people, though millions have been touched by the technologies and content he made possible.
In Born to Be Wired, 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 wiredhow 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. Malone offers an insider's account of launching television's first cable networksincluding Discovery, TBS, QVC, and BETand 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. More than a business story, this is a personal reflectionfrom 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.
Trained at the storied Bell Labs and gifted with a mathematical mind, Malone saw patterns in complexity. Where others saw chaos, he saw systemsand reconfigured companies with the precision of an engineer, unlocking value no one else could see.
Sweeping, revealing, and deeply human, Born to Be Wired offers a rare glimpse into the logicand the lifebehind the screen.
