Instant National Bestseller "Brotopia is more than a business booklet. Silicon Valley keeps extraordinary electric power over our present lives as well as whatever utopia (or nightmare) might come next." --New York Times Silicon Valley is a modern utopia where anyone can change the entire world. Unless you're a woman. For women in technical, Silicon Valley is not a dream land of unicorns, exclusive fact rainbows, and 3D-imprinted lollipops, where huge amount of money grow on trees. From the "Brotopia," where men keep all the cards and make all the guidelines. Significantly outnumbered, women face dangerous workplaces rife with discrimination and sexual harassment, where buyers take conferences in hot tubs and network at making love parties. On this powerful exposé, Bloomberg Television set journalist Emily Chang shows how Silicon Valley received so sexist despite its utopian ideals, why bro culture endures despite years of companies declaring the moral high surface (YOU SHOULDN'T BE Evil! Connect the entire world!)--and how women are finally needs to speak out and fight back. Drawing on her behalf deep network of Silicon Valley insiders, Chang opens the boardroom entrances of male-dominated capital raising organizations like Kleiner Perkins, the subject of Ellen Pao's high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit, and Sequoia, in which a spouse once famously said they "won't lower their requirements" just to retain the services of women. Interviews with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, and ex - Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer--who received their start at Yahoo, where just one in five designers is a woman--reveal precisely how hard it is to crack the Silicon Ceiling. And Chang shows how women such as ex - Uber engineer Susan Fowler, businessperson Niniane Wang, and game creator Brianna Wu, have risked their jobs and sometimes their lives to pave a way for other women. Silicon Valley's competitive, misogynistic, work-at-all costs culture has shut women from the greatest riches creation in the annals of the world. It is time to split up the males' club. Emily Chang shows us how to repair this dangerous culture--to lower Brotopia, forever.
