Live work work work die : a journey into the savage heart of Silicon Valley
Pein, CoreyNew York : Metropolitan Books, Henry Holt and Company, 2018."At the height of the startup boom, [the author] set out for Silicon Valley with little more than a smartphone and his wits. His goal: to learn how such an overhyped industry could possibly sustain itself as long as it has. But to truly understand the delirious reality of the tech entrepreneurs, he knew he would have to inhabit that perspective―he would have to become an entrepreneur himself. Thus [the author] begins his journey―skulking through gimmicky tech conferences, pitching his over-the-top business ideas to investors, and rooming with a succession of naive upstart programmers whose entire lives are managed by their employers―who work endlessly and obediently, never thinking to question their place in the system. In showing us this frantic world, [the author] challenges the positive, feel-good self-image that the tech tycoons have crafted―as nerdy and benevolent creators of wealth and opportunity―revealing their self-justifying views and their insidious visions for the future."--
