""For more than seven decades, business leaders, politicians, and would-be entrepreneurs have tried to unravel the secrets of Silicon Valley. In a little more than one hundred powerful, haunting pages, Meehan and Turner have captured a side of the Valley rarely seen: the deeply inequitable landscape of contingent and disproportionately foreign-born labor that makes its high-tech magic possible. Humane, insightful, and deeply compelling, this book tells the story of Silicon Valley in a completely new and utterly magnetic way.""--Margaret O'Mara, author of The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America ""It is a Silicon Valley rarely described and never shown that photographer Mary Beth Meehan sought to document. . . . Without descending into pathos, she reveals the striking contrasts between the world of start-ups and that in which their employees live. . . . But underneath, Meehan also depicts another, more subtle dissonance--between the way Silicon Valley sees itself, and the way it really is.""-- ""Le Monde"" ""Meehan's photographs provide a compelling cross section of peoples and places in the Valley, featuring hidden and untold stories. The photographs are excellent, the selection is clever and balanced, and the accompanying texts are well-written and engaging.""--Phillip Prodger, Yale University
