Acerca de esta escucha
Please note: This is a summary, analysis, and review of the book and not the original book.
Uncanny Valley is a captivating account of Anna Wiener’s struggle to find meaning and fulfilment in an industry that was brimming with optimism but felt ever so selfish, insidious, and hostile.
What does this Start Publishing Notes' summary, analysis, and review include?
- Summary of the original book
- Easily digestible takeaways distilling the main ideas
- An overview of Wiener's experiences in the tech industry
- Lessons on sexism, data privacy, and other pitfalls of Silicon Valley
- Editorial review and analysis
- Background on Anna Wiener
About the original book:
Through the lens of her personal experiences, Wiener traces the rise of Silicon Valley and documents the opportunities and problems it has created. She takes the listener through her experiences working at a literary agency and then an e-book startup in Manhattan to providing customer support at a data analytics company and then an open-source company in San Francisco’s Silicon Valley.
In between, Wiener reflects on the failings of startup culture and considers what it might take for the tech industry to be a source of good in a delicate socio-economic landscape. Anyone curious about what Silicon Valley feels like to an outsider and how it is shaping the world will find this memoir a handy guide.

Historia
Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

Historia
Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google are the four most influential companies on the planet. Just about everyone thinks they know how they got there. Just about everyone is wrong. For all that's been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway. Instead of buying the myths these companies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions.

Ali Tamaseb has spent thousands of hours manually amassing what may be the largest dataset ever collected on start-ups, comparing billion-dollar start-ups with those that failed to become one - 30,000 data points on nearly every factor: number of competitors, market size, the founder’s age, his or her university’s ranking, quality of investors, fundraising time, and many, many more. And what he found looked far different than expected.

Michael Ellsberg and Bryan Franklin think you've been fed a lie: that if you save for decades and invest in 401(k)s, IRAs, and a home, these investments will grow steadily over decades, allowing 20 to 30 years of secure, peaceful retirement. This might have been true at some point in the last century, but it is not true any longer. If you want to get ahead and enjoy a life of prosperity, the authors argue that you must invest in the most powerful source of wealth you'll ever know: your own earning power.

Historia
It’s hard to avoid innovation these days. Nearly every product gets marketed as being disruptive, whether it’s genuinely a new invention or just a new toothbrush. But in this manifesto on the state of American work, historians of technology Lee Vinsel and Andrew L. Russell argue that our way of thinking about and pursuing innovation has made us poorer, less safe, and — ironically — less innovative. Drawing on years of original research and reporting, The Innovation Delusion shows how the ideology of change for its own sake has proved a disaster.
