"Written by a tech insider who has held leadership positions in high-growth tech companies in Europe, Russia, and the United States--and one of the few women to rise to the very top of the industry--Trampled by Unicorns lifts the lid on how many of the industry's household name companies lost track of their original ideals to build products that pay little or no attention to their effect on users, and still less to their wider social impact. Clearly, in the headlong rush to innovation and market domination, mistakes will be made. Yet all too frequently these companies, have demonstrated breathtaking naivete, concealed their errors, and even when caught red-handed, shrugged off responsibility. In tracing the origins of Big Tech's empathy deficit, Gavet argues that they originate from three main sources: the Valley's cultural insularity, the hyper-growth business model, and the sector's stunning lack of diversity.

"Before the arrival of the 21st century, Taiwan was widely regarded as a successful model of a country which had not only transformed herself from an under-developed economy into a high-tech industrialised island, but also undergone a revolution from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one. Taiwan is now experiencing a significant economic slowdown and facing multi-facet challenges ranging from low productivity, stagnant innovation culture of small and medium enterprises, ageing population, sustainable energy mix, pension reform, upgrading of human resources, devising competition policy to provide incentives for innovation as well as to limit abuses from monopolies, warding off competition from countries with lower labour cost and managing complicated cross-strait relationship with China. The edited book looks at Taiwan's past successful development model, summarises Taiwan's current situation, outlines the future challenges beyond the year 2020, and provides policy recommendations in the aforementioned aspects. The contributors of this volume are accomplished veteran scholars in the fields. Several of them used to be policy makers at the level of ministers or deputy ministers. The book offers not only academic contribution but policy-relevant insights"--

Get the Summary of Anna Wiener's Uncanny Valley in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: In her mid-twenties, at the height of tech industry idealism, Anna Wiener-stuck, broke, and looking for meaning in her work, like any good millennial--left a job in book publishing for the promise of the new digital economy. She moved from New York to San Francisco, where she landed at a big-data startup in the heart of the Silicon Valley bubble: a world of surreal extravagance, dubious success, and fresh-faced entrepreneurs hell-bent on domination, glory, and, of course, progress.
