Kara Swisher
Burn Book
A Tech Love Story
Simon & Schuster, 2024
Aperçu
The tech industry is full of promise, journalist Kara Swisher writes, but it’s also rife with delusion and dehumanization.
Recommendation
Technology companies and their leaders promise to help change the world. However, some of the most powerful names in tech tend to act like “adult toddlers,” writes renowned tech journalist Kara Swisher, while others simply lack empathy for their users. Part memoir, part exposé, Swisher’s eye-opening, decades-spanning account offers a nuanced picture of Silicon Valley’s history and how its innovations have reshaped society — for better and for worse. Boldly holding a mirror up to power, Swisher deftly balances insider anecdotes with a serious call for tech leaders to focus on the public good.
