Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In her mid-twenties, Anna Wiener left a job in book publishing for the allure of the digital economy, moving from New York to San Francisco. She joined a big-data startup amid the Silicon Valley bubble, a realm of extravagance and ambitious entrepreneurs. As the tech industry evolved into a powerhouse rivaling Wall Street, Anna experienced a cultural shift marked by company ski trips and in-office speakeasies, revealing a new Silicon Valley that thrived at the expense of the utopian future it professed to create. Her memoir offers a unique perspective on the reckless startup culture of an era defined by unchecked ambition and political power. With wit and honesty, Anna navigates the tech industry's transformation from a self-proclaimed savior to a potential threat to democracy, intertwining her personal journey of aspiration and disillusionment. This narrative serves as both a coming-of-age story and a critical examination of a world grappling with consequences its creators are just beginning to comprehend. Through her unsparing insights, Anna provides a cautionary tale about the complexities of ambition and the realities of the tech landscape.
