#BookReview for "Uncanny Valley: A Memoir" by Anna Wiener

Entertaining, colorful, fast-moving writing.
Cutting criticism of Silicon Valley culture. Sometimes too cynical (is it always a bad thing when people want to make the world a better place?)
Perspective on life of a woman in tech.
There isn't really an overall point, or key takeaways. Perhaps it might make us pause and think for a moment about some choices we make as a culture.
The author made an unusual stylistic decision, choosing never to mention any company by name. She uses descriptors that tend to be pretty obvious and are sometimes entertaining. I assume she's doing this to express a unique writing style, but it can be mildly annoying.
