内容介绍


*本书出版后直接冲上畅销排行榜!

 

很多地方就像一个时光机,让人们能够看到在这里曾经发生过的历史及过去。世界上很少地方能像美国加州的矽谷这样让人能直接看到我们的未来(或者至少是人们目前所幻想的未来)。

 

不论作者Michele Masneri走到哪里,不论是听他的Uber专车司机讨论下一个即将让他变成百万富翁的创业计划,或者听Mark Zuckerberg的邻居如何抱怨他们家如何一年四季都在装修,还是听Jonathan Franzen解释我们该如何拯救地球,这就是他的家。

 

知名建筑师Frank Lloyd Wright曾经说过这世界上如果有任何没有扎根的东西迟早都会滑向加州。这本书就是作者支持这个想法的证据。加州矽谷是个充满矛盾的地方,它代表了希望、未来、智慧,同时也是多少人失败过的地方。这个地方改变了全世界,也是一个独一无二的地方。

好评:

"An address book of northern Californian things (with brief forays into Southern California) that avoids the trivial postcard views and happily surrenders to the details, a million details, perhaps much more revealing." Vogue Italia

 

"America seen through the lens of critical curiosity through the splendors and miseries of San Francisco. A narrative and investigative essay of Silicon Valley." Il Giornale di Brescia

 

“An entertaining and engaging reportage.” Internazionale

 

"Great writing, sumptuous and funny description not only of the city of San Francisco but of the San Francisco within us: the hippie and liberation movements, the queer scene, startuppers and digital life, all the attempts to realize oneself, the organic food trends and manias. An indispensable book, an ideal reading for our wild August". Camilla Baresani, on Il Messaggero

 

"Amazing, it works like a charm. You can understand a lot more about America today by reading him than you can by Tocqueville."

Il Venerdì, la Repubblica

 

"Probably the finest journalistic talent of these past few years."

Rivista Studio
