Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World by Malcolm Harris. Reality is not history is not lore—this applies to Silicon Valley, too. Harris is by no means a neutral observer, but his recounting of the region's arc from gold rushes through railroads, defence, personal computers and contemporary Big Tech provides a good start for sensemaking SV's position today.
