(see times)
Exploring Silicon Valley in the 1970s and 80s was “like watching the Big Bang,” historian Leslie Berlin said in a recent interview with Recode.
Join us as Inc.’s San Francisco Bureau Chief, Jeff Bercovici, sits down with Berlin to discuss her acclaimed new book, 'TROUBLEMAKERS: Silicon Valley’s Coming of Age' (https://www.scribd.com/audiobook/363714685/Troublemakers-Silicon-Valley-s-Coming-of-Age). "Engrossing," hailed The San Francisco Chronicle. "'TROUBLEMAKERS' offers a corrective to the regnant great man theory of technological progress of which the virtuosic Mr. Jobs is exhibit A. In narrating these innovations, Berlin shows the village that brought them forth."
We’ll learn how seven exceptional men and women transformed Silicon Valley from an obscure playground for gearhead engineers to the bustling hub that launched five major high-tech industries—personal computing, video games, biotechnology, modern venture capital, and advanced semiconductor logic—all in just seven years.
Attendance is free; hors-d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served. Limited to the first 100 RSVPs. A free copy of 'TROUBLEMAKERS: Silicon Valley's Coming of Age' will be given to the first 20 attendees. SCHEDULE:
5:00 - 5:30 PM: Doors open — networking with drinks and hors-d'oeuvres
5:30 - 6:15 PM: #ScribdChat with Leslie Berlin and Jeff Bercovici
6:15 - 6:30 PM: Networking and departure
