By embracing these elements, we can create more moments that matter. The book delves into mysteries of experience, such as why we tend to remember the best or worst moments and forget the rest, and why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth.

Uncanny Valley book cover
Uncanny Valley
Anna Wiener - 2020-01-14
Goodreads Rating
This memoir offers a first-hand glimpse into the high-flying and reckless startup culture of Silicon Valley during a time of unchecked ambition, unregulated surveillance, wild fortune, and political power. The author, Anna Wiener, left a job in book publishing for the promise of the new digital economy in San Francisco. She landed at a big-data startup in the heart of the Silicon Valley bubble, where she witnessed a new Silicon Valley emerge; one that enriched itself at the expense of the idyllic future it claimed to be building. A coming-of-age-story and a portrait of a bygone era, Uncanny Valley is a rare and personal narrative that charts the tech industry's shift from world savior to democracy-endangering liability.
