Reviews
McClelland weaves together a narrative of a region under siege by the economic forces of tech, gentrification, and inequality...A refreshing perspective., Thought-provoking...McClelland captures personal snapshots of the changes wrought on San Francisco by the tech industry., Silicon City should be San Francisco's next big city-wide read. Short of that, it should be required reading for every employee of Twitter and Salesforce.com. Google and Facebook employees should climb aboard their comfy buses bound for Silicon Valley one fine sunny morning and find a copy on their seats. At the very least, McClelland should send a copy to each of the 11 members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors., McClelland has undertaken a herculean feat of sociological cataloguing, and offers an ambitious, thorough look at a city that seems to be ripping at the seams., With dazzling omniscience, Silicon City delivers the voices of the people, each one sharing their own understanding of the city, like an oral history of the present...An almost poetic picture of San Francisco that proves the world isn't as simple--or as discouraging--as it's often made out to be., Silicon City is firmly in the Studs Terkel tradition of first-person-based explorations of working-class life...Students of inequality and demographics will find powerful anecdotal evidence for how the changing cityscape brings both harm and good.
