Anyone read The Dark Side of Valuation by Damodaran?

Anyone read " The Dark Side of Valuation: Valuing Young, Distressed, and Complex Businesses by Aswath Damodaran? Been interested in learning more about how complex and early-stage businesses with little to no revenue are valued (Uber, Bird, Lime, Cannabis etc). Is the book useful or interesting?
