Description

In her twenties, a former publishing professional relocates to San Francisco and enters the fast-growing world of data-driven technology, where lavish perks and youthful idealism mask intense ambition and uneasy compromises. Through her experiences at startups and within Silicon Valley’s evolving culture, she witnesses an industry shifting from hopeful innovation to immense wealth, influence, and social consequence. With sharp wit and candid observation, this memoir explores work, identity, power, surveillance, and the personal cost of belonging to a movement that promises to reshape the future. It is both an intimate coming-of-age story and a revealing portrait of tech culture at a pivotal moment.
