Anna Wiener was beginning to tire of her assistant job in New York publishing. Within a year she had moved to San Francisco to take up a job at a data analytics start-up in Silicon Valley. She had a healthy income for the first time in her life. She felt like part of the future. But a tide was beginning to turn. People were speaking of tech start-ups as surveillance companies. Out of 60 employees, only 8 of her colleagues were women. Casual sexism was rife. Sexual harassment cases were proliferating.

Aos 25 anos, sem dinheiro, sem perspectivas e — como todo bom millennial — à procura de um emprego que lhe trouxesse propósito, Anna Wiener deixou o mercado editorial em Nova York para tentar a vida na fervilhante e promissora San Francisco. No Vale do Silício, ela se viu em um mundo repleto de extravagâncias e empreendedores inexperientes que buscavam a todo custo poder, glória e, claro, progresso.
