Description of Behind the Silicon Curtain.

“Dennis Hayes’ disturbing account of the underside of Silicon Valley provides a powerful and much-needed antidote to the print-out panaceas purveyed by today’s born-again progressives, the false promises of Yankee enterprise in the computer age.”—David Noble, from the introduction

“An eloquent, inside account of trouble in the ersatz paradise of Silicon Valley … The exposé of the ‘clean rooms’ will shock readers … Discussions of computer hackers … and desperate entrepreneurs condemn the corporate atmosphere … The documentation are … daring and commendable."—Kirkus Reviews
