Misinformation. Job displacement. Information overload. Economic
inequality. Digital addiction. The breakdown of democracy,
civility, and truth itself. This open access book explores the
conscious and unconscious norms, values, and characteristics that
drive behaviors within the high-tech capital of the world, Silicon
Valley, and the sector it represents. In an era where the reach and
influence of a single industry has the potential to define the
future of our world, it has become apparent just how little we know
about the organizations driving these changes. The Psychology of
Silicon Valley offers a revealing look inside the mind of world's
most influential industry and how the identity, culture, myths, and
motivations of Big Tech are harming society. The book argues that
the bad values and lack of emotional intelligence borne in the
vacuum of Silicon Valley will have lasting consequences on
everything from social equality to the future of work to our
collective mental health. Katy Cook expertly walks us through the
psychological landscape of Silicon Valley, including its
leadership, ethical, and cultural problems, and artfully explains
why we cannot afford to ignore the psychology and values that are
behind our technology any longer.
