From Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerburg, no one comes out unscathed as legendary tech journalist and podcaster Kara Swisher opens up about a lifetime of reporting on Silicon Valley.
In a world where tech billionaires operate beyond the reach of government regulation and press scrutiny, Kara Swisher has devoted her career to holding them to account.
Her new memoir Burn Book offers an insider’s history of some of Silicon Valley’s most influential companies, laying bare the utopian ideals and troubling compromises of the people who created them. Here, she discusses her wide-ranging experiences of reporting on the tech industry from boom and bust to global domination and offers a clear-eyed view on how big tech has shaped our lives.
Don’t miss Swisher in conversation with host Sophie Black in this witty, scathing and frank account from someone who has seen the dark inner workings of the industry – and yet remains optimistic about tech's potential to deliver a better and fairer world.
Presented in partnership with RMIT Culture
