About the Original Book:
Through the lens of her personal experiences, Wiener traces the rise of Silicon Valley and documents the opportunities and problems it has created. She takes the reader through her experiences working at a literary agency and then an e-book startup in Manhattan to providing customer support at a data analytics company and then an open-source company in San Francisco’s Silicon Valley. In between, Wiener reflects on the failings of startup culture and considers what it might take for the tech industry to be a source of good in a delicate socio-economic landscape. Anyone curious about what Silicon Valley feels like to an outsider and how it is shaping the world will find this memoir a handy guide.
