Two New Silicon Valley Books
from the nothing-is-original-anymore dept
I heard about both of these new Silicon Valley books on the same day a few weeks back, and actually for a little while was wondering if they were the same book. Both Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson, and Silicon Valley Boys by David Kaplan are sketches following the lives of folks in Silicon Valley. They are both now available, and Salon has written an interesting review that compares the two. I'll probably pick up copies sometime soon, and write reviews when I'm finished...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
