The Curse of Silicon Valley - Anna Wiener (978-966-993-548-9)

At the height of the idealism of the technology industry in its twenty years, Anna Wiener, like other disillusioned millennials, left her job in the field of book publishing, putting her faith in the prospects of the new digital era. Vaughn moved from New York to San Francisco, where she spent time with a big data startup in the heart of the “bullshit” of Silicon Valley: the world of surreal extravagance, dubious success and freshman entrepreneurs who are obsessed with power, fame and progress. “The Curse of Silicon Valley” is a valuable, middle-of-the-road look at high-flying, low-impact startup culture at a time of unsustainable ambition, unregulated visibility, extreme fashion, and growing political turmoil. Anna realistically depicts the anger, disappointment and ambiguity that startups have.
