“This book tells my circuitous and tragicomic journey through Big Tech, as a startup founder and as an employee. While I appreciate the vast creative potential of new technologies, I critique aspects of the industry that I observed that lose sight of human values in the quest for profits and market share.”

— Vahid Razavi, from the Foreword
