Episode 59: Anna Wiener

Silicon Valley is known for its young billionaire entrepreneurs, catered lunches, in-house yoga classes and Whiskey Wednesdays. Writer Anna Wiener worked at several start-ups where she had a front row seat to the industry’s culture. Men have always done a lot better than women in tech who earn less than their male colleagues and have a harder time getting to the top. Wiener wrote a book about all of this called Uncanny Valley which the New York Times named one of the 10 best books of 2020. We talk about innovation, greed and sexism in the heart of tech.
