Silicon Valley is more than a physical place—it's a way of looking at the world. There’s something about the Valley that gets under people’s skin and starts making them think—and act—different. In his new book, Valley of Genius: The Uncensored History of Silicon Valley, Adam Fisher explores the history of Silicon Valley and the hackers, founders, and freaks who made it boom—including Nolan Bushnell, Louis Rossetto, and Jane Metcalfe. Bushnell founded Atari, created the video game industry, and invented the hacker-CEO archetype that defines the Valley today. Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalfe are the team that first captured this new Silicon Valley zeitgeist in the pages of their magazine, WIRED. Join Bushnell, Fisher, Metcalfe and Rossetto as they discuss the Valley way of looking at—and changing—the world.
