Silicon City: San Francisco in the Long Shadow of… Tekijä: Cary McClelland
I feel like I'm the target audience for this book. I just moved to the Bay, started working in tech, and was immediately disillusioned with it. I live in San Francisco and plan on staying. This was eye-opening and I think it should be required reading for anyone in the "bubble" of Silicon Valley (which is popping, incidentally). Even if you don't live here, what I'm seeing in the media doesn't do it justice. This was true of where I used to live too. I almost read this all in one sitting, had to go to bed last night and finished it this morning. This book is so important.… (lisätietoja)
it's an interesting collection of oral history that will give you an idea about what's making the bay area tick these days. the author does not intervene to provide much context or editorial; he lets the narratives speak for themselves. it's a neat contribution to the history of san francisco.
Silicon City, or Silicon Valley, Technology, American Economy, Geniuses, Inventors, Investors, etc it's what poped-up in my mind when I first read the title (eye-catching), Well I read it and I'll be more than happy to share my review with all of you here on 3ee.info a great book review source in the US Book Market as well as on social media.
Silicon City: San Francisco in the Long Shadow of the Valley, is written in the Story-Telling Technique of writing about the technology, the US history, Americans, Immigrants, and Giant companies in the different industry such as Apple, Facebook or Intel and etc. Cary McClelland the author of the book, successfully written this story, by using his talent in filmmaking and writing provided an interesting book.
After the great recession in 2008 San Francisco and San Jose became the two wealthiest cities in the nation, while they attract more educated and investors from all around the world, many believe the region is the engine of the new American economy and the problem is that The richer the cities get, the more unequal they get.
So now you know what this book is all about, and maybe you think the bottom line is predictable, but the Author very professionally explained his point of view and described the situation which Silicon Valley is in. this book is not just about a specific area but about the American history as well, about many emigrants who came to this country and faced a lot of problems to study to become a part of this nation's economy.
I absolutely give a pure 5-star review to this awesome book not just because I loved the title but I believe the older this book gets the more valuable it becomes.
I highly recommend it to whoever is enthusiastic about: America's History, Economy, Technology, Innovation, etc.
