Kurzfassung:
Beyond the gilded gates of Google, little has been written about the suburban communities of Silicon Valley. Over the past decades, the region's booming tech economy spurred rapid population growth, increased racial diversity, and prompted an influx of immigration, especially among highly skilled and educated migrants from China, Taiwan, and India. At the same time, the response to these newcomers among long-time neighbours and city officials revealed complex attitudes in even the most well-heeled and diverse communities. This text takes an intimate look at the everyday life and politics inside Silicon Valley against a backdrop of these dramatic demographic shifts.
