In Voices from the Valley, the celebrated writers and Logic
cofounders Moira Weigel and Ben Tarnoff take an unprecedented dive
into the tech industry, conducting unfiltered, in-depth, anonymous
interviews with tech workers at all levels, including a data
scientist, a start-up founder, a cook who serves their lunch, and a
PR wizard. In the process, Weigel and Tarnoff open the conversation
about the tech industry at large, a conversation that has
previously been dominated by the voices of CEOs. Deeply
illuminating, revealing, and at times lurid, Voices from the Valley
is a vital and comprehensive view of an industry that governs our
lives. FSG Originals × Logic dissects the way technology functions
in everyday lives. The titans of Silicon Valley, for all their
utopian imaginings, never really had our best interests at heart:
recent threats to democracy, truth, privacy, and safety, as a
result of tech’s reckless pursuit of progress, have shown as
much. We present an alternate story, one that delights in capturing
technology in all its contradictions and innovation, across borders
and socioeconomic divisions, from history through the future,
beyond platitudes and PR hype, and past doom and gloom. Our
collaboration features four brief but provocative forays into the
tech industry’s many worlds, and aspires to incite fresh
conversations about technology focused on nuanced and accessible
explorations of the emerging tools that reorganize and redefine
life today.
