Michel L. reviewed Abolish Silicon Valley by Wendy Liu
Review of 'Abolish Silicon Valley' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Part biography, part guide, all engrossing
As someone in tech - except I've been adjacency to the start-up world, having worked most recently for two successful ex-startup -- I've been skeptical of the start-up hype for a while, and also of the excesses of monopolistic tech platforms, but the author weaved the two together with a powerful critique of capitalism.
My only regret is the latter chapters seem to finish so abruptly, without much exploration of existing non-profit tech companies - but overall a thoroughly enjoyable read.
As stated in the book, if you're still drinking the Kool-Aid this might not be the book for you. If you're harboring doubts, it might help you tie the pieces together.
