SEE EVENT DETAILS
The San Francisco Bay Area is currently the tech capital of the world and a gusher of wealth from the Silicon Gold Rush. It has been generating jobs, spawning new innovation, and spreading ideas that are changing lives everywhere. So what could be wrong? It may seem that the Bay Area has the best of it in Trump’s America, but there is a dark side of success. Walker’s timely book examines San Francisco’s exploding inequality; its millions of underpaid workers; a boiling housing crisis, mass displacement, a delusional tech elite and complicity with the worst in American politics.
