The Delivery Man 2

Sébastien Taveau has spent four decades navigating the technology world and Silicon Valley as an immigrant, an entrepreneur, a father, and a T1D caregiver who never stopped delivering. The Delivery Man 2 picks up where the first book left off - this time with sharper tools, harder-won perspective, and a front-row seat to the most disruptive decade in tech history.

And if the first Delivery Man was anchored in authenticity, this volume goes further - peeling back one more layer of veneer from the polished LinkedIn profile and the curated career. These are dispatches about the vulnerability of being human in a big country, and the foundational moments - past and present - that made the man writing them.

Structured in nine parts, the book moves from the immigrant experience and the American Dream to the AI revolution reshaping how we build, lead, and create. It revisits SSOCCADD, the decision-making framework at the core of the first book, and extends it to new contexts: vibe coding, programmable money, agentic AI, and the leadership traps that derail even seasoned executives.

Along the way, Taveau sits down with a remarkable cast of practitioners: Jean-Louis Gassée, Brett King, Dave Birch, Philippe Kahn, Eric Benhamou, Ethan Evans, and Elizabeth Yin. What emerges isn't a business book in the traditional sense - it's a dispatch from the field, written for people who are still in the game and still trying to get it right.

Part leadership manual. Part cultural commentary. Part memoir. The Delivery Man 2 is for founders, operators, immigrants, and anyone who has ever had to make a consequential decision in a fast-moving environment — and live with what came next.
