Livestream Replay: Watch ‘Uncanny Valley’ on Women, Tech, and Power
What is the state of women in Silicon Valley?
In a word: shaky.
This fall, WIRED made a special issue devoted to gender and power. On October 8, for the live-audience recording of the Uncanny Valley podcast in San Francisco, WIRED dug further into the fascinating and nuanced state of affairs. First up: a special conversation between Paulina Borsook, tech journalist and former WIRED writer, and WIRED global editorial director Katie Drummond.
Borsook, whose prescient 2000 book Cyberselfish is being rereleased this fall, has long been a skeptic of the tech world—which might have been to her detriment during the growth mindset of the past few decades. We enjoyed a lively conversation about WIRED, then and now, and what Borsook thinks of the current trillionaire class.
Then, the podcast panel, featuring executive editor Brian Barrett and contributing editor Zoë Schiffer, brought on WIRED senior correspondent Lauren Goode to talk about her quest to find the most powerful woman in Silicon Valley.
