A story of self-discovery and breaking barriers as a female journalist during the second wave of tech by investigative reporter and former CNN Senior Tech Correspondent Laurie Segall.
... candid and engaging ... Segall's energetic chronicle of her rise from an entry-level position at CNN to the network's senior tech correspondent is both an engrossing coming-of-age story and a revealing cautionary tale of the power Silicon Valley wields over modern life.
A few downsides: The prose is only serviceable, some points are belabored, and romantic relationships seem to take as long to die on the page as they did in real life (a fight over who gets to keep Alexa is about as juicy as it gets) ... Inspiring on the personal level while somewhat chilling on the societal one.
... plucky if faltering ... what she claims to be her most significant battles hold little weight when she fails to dig deeper beyond stories of spilled coffee and embarrassing text conversations. Unfortunately, this hero’s journey lacks a payoff.
