具體描述
The prescient, page-turning account of a journey in Silicon Valley: a defining memoir of our digital age
In her mid-twenties, at the height of tech industry idealism, Anna Wiener―stuck, broke, and looking for meaning in her work, like any good millennial―left a job in book publishing for the promise of the new digital economy. She moved from New York to San Francisco, where she landed at a big-data startup in the heart of the Silicon Valley bubble: a world of surreal extravagance, dubious success, and fresh-faced entrepreneurs hell-bent on domination, glory, and, of course, progress.
Anna arrived during a massive cultural shift, as the tech industry rapidly transformed into a locus of wealth and power rivaling Wall Street. But amid the company ski vacations and in-office speakeasies, boyish camaraderie and ride-or-die corporate fealty, a new Silicon Valley began to emerge: one in far over its head, one that enriched itself at the expense of the idyllic future it claimed to be building.
Part coming-of-age-story, part portrait of an already bygone era, Anna Wiener’s memoir, Uncanny Valley, is a rare first-person glimpse into high-flying, reckless startup culture at a time of unchecked ambition, unregulated surveillance, wild fortune, and accelerating political power. With wit, candor, and heart, Anna deftly charts the tech industry’s shift from self-appointed world savior to democracy-endangering liability, alongside a personal narrative of aspiration, ambivalence, and disillusionment.

有些段落和描寫還滿好笑的 twitter抖機靈的那種好笑。。這個題材怎麼說有些疲憊 年輕人工作就工作羅
评分讀完感覺對不少矽榖從業人員進行瞭精準打擊…
评分除瞭前幾年Bad Blood引起的廣泛討論外，矽榖似乎一直是一個以男性為中心的築夢者的天堂。而以「女性」以及「non-tech」的身份審視矽榖，並穿插著對科技和創投的一些獨特看法，讀下來也是挺有趣的。文風非常New Yorker，末尾介紹作者為其撰稿，果然lol
评分互聯網邏輯說到底還是商業邏輯，internet is not going to save the world.
