About this ebook
An unprecedented dive into the tech industry, featuring anonymous interviews with workers at all levels
In Voices from the Valley, celebrated writers and Logic cofounders Moira Weigel and Ben Tarnoff conduct unfiltered, in-depth, anonymous interviews with tech workers at all levels, including a data scientist, a start-up founder, a cook who serves their lunch, and a PR wizard. Weigel and Tarnoff open the conversation about the tech industry at large, a conversation previously dominated by the voices of CEOs. Deeply illuminating, revealing, and at times lurid, Voices from the Valley offers a vital and comprehensive view of an industry that governs our lives.
FSG Originals × Logic dissects how technology functions in everyday life. The titans of Silicon Valley, despite their utopian imaginings, have never really had our best interests at heart, as recent threats to democracy, truth, privacy, and safety have shown. This collaboration features four provocative forays into the tech industry's many worlds, aspiring to incite fresh conversations focused on nuanced and accessible explorations of the emerging tools that reorganize and redefine life today.
