內容簡介

調查記者Corey Pein深入矽谷,揭露新創事業潮的重重黑幕。

“根據最新版的美國夢,如果你還不是億萬富翁,那就表示你的努力還不夠。”

為了成為百萬富翁,Corey Pein一頭栽進創新事業的浪潮裡,加入了前往矽谷的青年行列中。這個以白人男性為多數的科技怪胎群,夢想著將來成為下一個賈伯斯或祖克柏。

當作者從租金過高的公寓搬到租金同樣過高的帳篷中,排隊等在充斥著白人優越主義言論,將仇恨偽裝成創新的科技會議中,看著一心一意想成為創業家的年輕人對身價億萬的投資客推銷理念時,他發現了那個科技大亨們所塑造的正面且感覺良好的自我形象,其實是個騙局。

本書作者以局內人的觀點,尖銳地探索了矽谷的科技文化,破除了高科技領導人及其鼓吹與追隨者所制定的超自由主義計畫,並顯現這些人的願景將危害人類的未來。

‘Under the latest iteration of the American Dream, if you aren’t a billionaire yet, you haven’t tried hard enough.’

At the height of the startup boom, journalist Corey Pein sets out for Silicon Valley to make his millions. Plunging headfirst into entrepreneur culture, he joins the thousands of other ― mostly white, male ― nerds all hoping to become the next Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg.

But as he moves from overpriced flat to overpriced tent, lines up at tech conferences where white supremacists spout hatred disguised as innovation, and watches desperate would-be entrepreneurs pay to pitch their ideas to billionaire investors, Pein discovers that the positive, feel-good self-image that the tech tycoons have crafted is a lie.

Live Work Work Work Die is a scathing exploration of Silicon Valley tech culture, depicted from the inside. It vividly deconstructs the ultra-libertarian agendas of high-tech leaders and their urgers and acolytes, revealing their insidious visions for our future.
