About the book: 2020 / Anna Viner is 25 years old, she is a graduate of the Faculty of Philology, works in a publishing house and watches with a little alarm how things are changing book market influenced by online retail giants. Fate gives her a chance: to join a startup for reading e-books by subscription. This is how Anna finds herself in Silicon Valley - a world of surreal extravagance, dubious success and new entrepreneurs obsessed with dominance, fame and progress. But everything usually has its dark side - and behind the bright and creative facade of the industry, the shadow of universal surveillance clearly looms, and faith in ambitious, arrogant young dropouts becomes a global disaster... A deeply personal and at the same time universal story of generation Y and its coming of age against the backdrop of the unfolding “digital century." This is a story about the conflict between old and new, between art and technology, between the search for money and the search for meaning - about how our world is changing forever.
