At some point in the 15 years since its release, THE SOCIAL NETWORK (2010) became a historical document. We're joined by our official Silicon Valley correspondent Wendy Liu to discuss why its complicated perspective on startup culture resonated so strongly, and what the passage of time has revealed about people like Zuckerberg. And of course, we get into the Aaron Sorkin of it all. PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/130141170

We've seen a three-month period of underperformance for Chinese stocks and outperformance for Japanese stocks. Our positioning indicators based on futures and cross-border flows hint at flows from China to Japan. The recent China stimulus points to better days ahead for Chinese equities, and the worry was money flowing back from Japan would blunt the Japanese equity rally. Overall, we downplay the idea that a recovery for Chinese stocks must come at Japan's expense.

In this bonus episode, we have a special audio production from British literary scholar Saul Leslie and American writer Wendy Liu. What do you think David Foster Wallace was really like in a tennis match? You are invited to listen to a tennis commentary of a fictional match played between David Foster Wallace and Martin Amis. This audio piece was part of DFW2023, held in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was written and presented by Saul Leslie, and features commentary by fictional Wimbledon champion and writer Elsa Canetti (voiced by Wendy Liu), and a guest 'courtside' appearance from literary academic Beci Carver. Hopefully this gives you a sense of what it would be like if Amis and Wallace really did play against one another. As for who is ultimately triumphant, you'll have to listen to find out!

Kicking off the new year, we are joined by returning champion Wendy Liu – author of Abolish Silicon Valley – to look back on all the very dumb things the tech sector has forced us take seriously in 2021. We talk about how free flowing capital has both created and accelerated a world built on sand. Where all the vaporware, bullshit, and grifts of things like NFTs, DAOs, and web3 seemingly come from nowhere and become all we can talk about. We wrap up with our hopes that 2022 will be a year that proves one thing: the luddites were right. • Follow Wendy: twitter.com/dellsystem/ • Buy her very good book: repeaterbooks.com/product/abolish-silicon-valley-how-to-liberate-technology-from-capitalism/ Some stuff we discuss: ••• My first impressions of web3 | Moxie Marlinspike https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html ••• Cryptocurrency Investors Try to Turn Private Islands Into Blockchain Utopias | Ed Ongweso Jr. https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3n38x/cryptocurrency-investors-try-to-turn-private-islands-into-blockchain-utopias Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills Grab fresh new TMK gear: bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/ Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).

Is your pain causing you to purchase? In a world where medical establishments are woefully underprepared to deal with anyone who isn't a very average man, more people than ever are turning to femtech, a multi-billion sector providing an ever-expanding selection of (expensive) wifi-enabled breast pumps and (intrusive) glittery gold period trackers. Join comedian and computer scientist Olga Koch and journalist Hussein Kesvani as they ask just how many details about your sex life you really need to hand over to any corporation, give your favourite products a femtech rebrand, and speak with software engineer and former startup founder Wendy Liu, author of ‘Abolish Silicon Valley: How to Liberate Technology from Capitalism', about the demise of the girlboss.

As an antidote to the constant glowing profiles of tech executives and venture capitalists, TMK is starting an ongoing, occasional series where we highlight the stories and experiences of radical tech workers: people who are disaffected by the industry, discontented with its broken promises, and committed to working towards different models of funding, building, and using technology for a truly better world.

Authors Richard Seymour and Wendy Liu discuss how our social-media generated addiction to writing is ruining our lives, and what we can do to escape its vicious cycles. ---------------------------------------------------- What is the Twittering Machine? An addiction-machine organized around the first ever mass, open-air, collective writing experiment. A microcelebrity-farm, where the only incentive to be there is to cultivate, and destroy, a personal idol. A furnace of meaning, wherein the mass of information stands in inverse proportion to truth. A volatile combination of the stock market, 24 hour news and Neighborhood Watch. This is the social industry. It thrives as it occupies every corner of our lives with compulsive, wage-free writing. It programs our social lives by algorithm and code, subordinating us to mercurial hierarchies of status and visibility, and to the grammar of capitalism. With each new tweetstorm, it brings us ever closer to the edge. Faced with such a novel, unprecedented power, we are entitled to ask the minimum utopian question: what else could we be doing, if not this? ---------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Richard Seymour is a writer and editor based in London. He is the author of The Twittering Machine and is a founding editor of Salvage. Wendy Liu is a tech commentator, software engineer and former startup founder who left the tech industry to pursue a masters degree in inequality from the London School of Economics. She is the author of Abolish Silicon Valley (Repeater Books) and has written for Logic Magazine, Tribune, and New Internationalist. Her articles on tech worker union organizing have been featured in The Atlantic and CNBC.- --------------------------------------------------- Order a copy of Richard Seymour's "The Twittering Machine": https://www.versobooks.com/books/3229-the-twittering-machine Order a copy of Wendy Liu's "Abolish Silicon Valley": https://bookshop.org/a/1039/9781912248704 ---------------------------------------------------------- This event is co-sponsored by Haymarket Books and Verso Books.

Disruption, innovation, entrepreneurial spirit – Silicon Valley is viewed by many as the cradle of technological development and progress in our world today. But, behind the luster of unlimited growth and unbounded ambition lies Capitalism's standard blend of exploitation and concentration of individual wealth at the expense of public good. ———————————————————— At a time when technology is seeping even deeper into our lives, how can we reclaim it for the many and not the few? Join authors, activists and radicals Rob Larson and Wendy Liu for a discussion on Big Tech's monopolistic power today, and how we can respond to it with a radical vision of digital socialism. Rob Larson is a professor of economics at Tacoma Community College and author of Bit Tyrants: The Political Economy of Silicon Valley, and Capitalism vs. Freedom. He writes for Jacobin, In These Times, Current Affairs and Dollars & Sense. Wendy Liu is a tech commentator, software engineer and former startup founder who left the tech industry to pursue a masters degree in inequality from the London School of Economics.

To many, working at Google is a "dream job," but when they get there, few find that their idealistic perspectives are reflected. As the tech industry as a whole keeps inflating in size, both Goliath corporations and the millions being funneled into startups have been exposed for their harmless philosophies and questionable practices. Wendy Liu is a former startup CTO and published author of Abolish Silicon Valley. After graduating from McGill in 2013, Wendy abandoned a full-time role at Google to lead technology at her startup Macromeasures, but came out of the experience with key insights on how tech exacerbates inequality and illusion. Since then, Wendy got a masters in Economics and recently took on a role at Open Door Legal, a nonprofit providing legal support for the underprivileged. In this episode, we'll be diving into Wendy's takeaways from the tech industry, and why it drew her away.
In this episode, former Silicon Valley insider turned critic Wendy Liu speaks to Carl Miller about her personal experiences with the glamour and contradictions of the tech industry. In light of scandals like Cambridge Analytica and reports of degrading treatment toward third party contractors, Liu asks us to reimagine what tech could look like outside a system of shareholder value.

A bonus deep-dive episode into the culture and politics of Big Tech and Silicon Valley! Today Andy chats with the writer Wendy Liu (no relation) about her recent book, Abolish Silicon Valley.A programmer, former Google intern, and startup founder, Wendy has written on a host of political-economic questions swirling around Silicon Valley today: how to organize contract workers in Silicon Valley; Andrew Yang and UBI; and why we should socialize Amazon.Above all, she is interested in spoiling the myths that Silicon Valley tells itself and sells to the public. This episode focuses on her individual reckoning with the reality of Big Tech and capitalism: her distaste for corporate identity politics, how her social position (second-generation Chinese-Canadian woman) shaped her growth, the contrast between STEM and political education, and the mythology of meritocracy.0:00 – Wendy’s own trajectory from youthful adherent of the cult of Silicon Valley (Elon Musk, Elizabeth Holmes) to disillusionment and critique.19:30 – Wendy’s thoughts on entering the tech world as a woman and an Asian-(North) American—from minimizing her feelings of difference in order to fit in to gaining a structural understanding of gender and race. Some choice words for White Fragility-style corporate diversity measures. And a brief discussion of the mind-blowing history of Chinese labor migration to the West Coast. 41:30 – Our thoughts on a previous listener question: why so many Asian-Americans opt for STEM education and career paths. Parental pressure? Culture? 48:00 – We discuss friend-of-the-show Immanuel Wallerstein’s classic, Historical Capitalism (Verso, 1983), and his criticism of the concept of meritocracy. Why is Silicon Valley’s cult of meritocracy a “sham”? How should the rest of us try to process and make sense of this critique? Get on the email list at goodbye.substack.com
The tech industry is perhaps the most polarizing aspect of American capitalism. It’s changed the world many times over, but the impacts of that change are grossly unequal. In her book Abolish Silicon Valley, former believer turned critic Wendy Liu challenges the myths of the tech industry, and offers a galvanizing argument for why and how we must reclaim technology’s potential for the public good. On the show, we discuss similarities in our stories as well as the political economy of music. In hour 2, I play a techno set and talk about the story behind the tracks in this playlist as it relates to the interview.

Cold open: Bro, have you heard about this new startup called GOO_LOG? Main Show: We’re joined by Wendy Liu (twitter.com/dellsystem), author of Abolish Silicon Valley, to dissect the system of venture capital that holds immense influence over what counts as innovation, why technology is created, and who gets to reap the benefits. Chances are – unless you have an invite to the ultra exclusive clubhouse – it isn’t you. But here’s the thing, it doesn’t have to be that way. There are alternatives.

The idea of Silicon Valley means many things to many people. The most prominent associations with this region and culture probably have to do with the tech industry — but that’s not the whole story. Not even close. There’s a dark side to Silicon Valley that doesn’t always make it into mainstream conversations and popular assumptions. Beneath the image there is a stark reality. In this Upstream Conversation, we spoke with Wendy Liu, an author and Silicon Valley insider turned critic. Her debut book, Abolish Silicon Valley: How to Liberate Technology From Capitalism, is a memoir and a manifesto on how to transform the tech industry from the hypercapitalist culture of inequality, gentrification, and greed that it is to something more equitable, accessible, and supportive of the real disruptions we need today.

In conversation with Wendy Liu How can technology become a tool of emancipation rather than capitalist extraction? Few are better positioned to dwell on this question than Wendy Liu, a tech commentator, software engineer and former start-up founder who left the tech industry to pursue a master's degree in inequality at the London School of Economics. Since then, she has become a fervent critic of the tech industry and the growth-at-all-costs capitalism that incubated it. Liu joins Guy Mackinnon-Little to discuss her debut book Abolish Silicon Valley (2020), recently published by Repeater Books, which recounts Liu's first-hand experience of the industry and sets out an alternative vision for how we can liberate technology from capitalism.

On this edition of Parallax Views, the tech world, as represented by Silicon Valley, is often portrayed as being full of visonary disruptors like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel who will, through the big-brained ingenuity, solve the greatest conundrums facing society in the 21st century. Software developer Wendy Liu went into the world of tech with rose-colored glasses as a self-described "STEMlord" who believe 110% in the Silicon Valley mindset. But as time went on she became disillusioned and eventually began questioning some of the biggest sacred cows related to tech world optimism. Recently Wendy outlined her story in the new book Abolish Silicon Valley: How to Liberate Technology from Capitalism. Wendy joins us to discuss how she went from wearing rose-colored glasses when it came to Silicon Valley's techno-optimist capitalism to questioning whether the tech world really is the 21st century's savior.

From the star of Silicon Valley to abolishing Silicon Valley--this week, Dolly and Joey welcome Wendy Liu, the author of the new memoir “Abolish Silicon Valley.” Wendy, a software engineer, ex-Googler, and startup founder, takes us through her journey of discovering the dark side of Silicon Valley and where all its tech money comes from. Dolly and Wendy discussed building a startup that sells personal data to marketers, making Amazon a public utility, and the tech workers who are organizing to fight for better pay and rights. -- We pride ourselves on being an independent media at Plum Radio.

In this episode we chat to Wendy Liu author of the brilliant book, Abolish Silicon Valley! We talk about the myth of the meritocracy, reclaiming entrepreneurship, and what innovation looks like beyond capitalism. Our quick review of Abolish Silicon Valley: From inspiring early experiences in open-source software development, to crushing disappointment in the search for startup funding, Wendy Liu writes a refreshingly candid account of how she fell in, and then out, of love with the tech industry. Liu shows how the inhabitants of Silicon Valley - from the funders, to the founders - have abdicated their responsibility to society; that beneath the veneer of global connectivity and community-building, they have driven immense socio-economic inequality. But all is not lost as Liu argues: inequities borne from tech can be resolved if we're willing to hold up a mirror and address their causes, regardless of how close to home these may be.

To better understand a United States where the richest men in the world - Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates- have gained their wealth from a tech industry that is directly killing the workers at the front lines of Covid-19, I spoke to two of smartest people I know: Edward Ongweso Jr. of Vice and Wendy Liu whose memoir: ABOLISH SILICON VALLEY, is out now on Repeater Books Its a powerful two-part conversation on the culture of smug cruelty that dominates the tech industry, and how we, the subjects they rule like kings, can tear down their systems of exploitation and create technology based on liberation for the many, not wealth for the few.

It’s a strange situation when we actually like something on this show - and therefore decided to have a relatively serious conversation about it. On this week’s Trashfuture, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) spoke with Wendy Liu (@dellsystem) and Trevor Beaulieu (@RickyRawls ) of the Champagne Sharks podcast about Boots Riley’s film ‘Sorry to Bother You.’ As you can possibly imagine, we really enjoyed this film and had a lot to say about it, specifically about how it’s an unabashedly socialist movie that’s also funny.

From Amazon’s increasing domination over the economy to broader collaboration with government programs like weaponized drone operations and burgeoning surveillance apparatuses, Big Tech seems only to be getting bigger. And, arguably, more dangerous. In the contest of capitalist growth imperatives, the main counterbalance to this power seems to be the tech workers themselves, workers who refuse to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or tolerate sexual harassment. In this episode, we’re talking with Wendy Liu and Ben Tarnoff about the ongoing efforts to mobilize and organize tech sector workers towards better working conditions as well as the power to make decisions over their work to avoid social harm and orient the tech sector toward a moral accountability.
