I purchased the book. It is just a general series of interviews with high profile data scientists. Kudos to the author for getting some very busy and prominent people to agree to interviews.

I think it would be valuable to aspiring data scientists - students who are looking to break into the field. It has good general advice on what backgrounds companies look for and some inspiring and motivational stories.

It will not be useful for current data scientists looking for information on how the companies in the book do data science. There are very few technical details included.
