Uncanny Valley offers a first-person account of a young worker who leaves publishing for the promise of Silicon Valley and discovers a world of exuberant startups, rapid wealth, and fragile idealism. The narrative mixes personal coming-of-age elements with clear-eyed observation of tech life.

Through sharp, anecdotal scenes the book examines how unregulated platforms, surveillance practices, and aggressive growth strategies reshaped companies and civic life. It traces the industry’s shift from utopian rhetoric to concentrated power and unintended consequences.

Uncanny Valley is useful for readers interested in technology culture, startup dynamics, and contemporary social change. Its blend of memoir and cultural critique makes it a valuable perspective on a pivotal moment in the digital age.
