Order of Anna Wiener Books

Anna Wiener is a writer for the New Yorker who covers startup culture and technology. Her 2020 debut book, Uncanny Valley, chronicles her experiences working within Silicon Valley's startup ecosystem.

A Brooklyn native, Wiener initially entered the tech world in New York City before relocating to San Francisco, where much of her book's narrative unfolds. She was drawn to the tech sector by its dynamic energy and her fascination with data and its storytelling potential. Her career included positions at an analytics startup and GitHub, though she deliberately omits company names in her memoir.

Wiener ultimately departed the tech industry, driven by her growing disenchantment with its corporate culture and the sexism she encountered. Through her writing, she offers readers an insider's perspective on the complexities and contradictions of Silicon Valley's influential tech landscape.
