- Summary:
- "Sweetbitter meets Brotopia in a story of self-discovery and breaking barriers as a female journalist during the second wave of tech by award-winning investigative reporter and former CNN Senior Tech Correspondent Laurie Segall"-- Provided by publisher.
- Living in New York in 2008, Segall discovered a group of scrappy misfits rising from the ashes of the recession. As she rose through the ranks at CNN, Segall became one of the first reporters to give airtime to many of the tech entrepreneurs. She witnessed the rise of second-wave tech, as her misfits emerged as some of the world's most influential leaders. Her memoir is a backstage pass to the tech bubble that reimagined the ethos of our social, political, and cultural experience. -- adapted from jacket
