Widely considered “Silicon Valley’s most feared but revered journalist,” Swisher has been covering the tech world since the early 1990s, documenting its rise from scrappy startups to global power players.

Her latest book, Burn Book: A Tech Love Story, blends memoir and history into a witty, scathing, yet hopeful account of the internet age. She details Silicon Valley’s soaring successes and devastating failures, exposing how tech reshaped society while urging the industry to make more responsible choices, especially as artificial intelligence takes center stage.
