I enjoyed this, but felt like I got the point after the first part and was hoping for more out of the second half. It never really leads to a deep analysis - but I guess it's subtitled "a memoir" so it's not too surprising that it focuses mostly on her personal experiences. Still it's a quick read and really captures the feel of the tech world in the early 2010s. The writing was great - she's witty and has a fun sense of humor. It's an interesting but somewhat familiar world that she describes and her stylistic choices (like not using proper nouns for all the companies she mentions) add to the "uncanniness"of her descriptions of the Silicon Valley culture. Unfortunately some of the specific things she describes aren't limited just to the Northern California tech industry, but have now trickled out to the larger corporate world...
