Whistleblower: My Journey to Silicon Valley and Fight for Justice at Uber by Susan Fowler
4.0
Susan Fowler's account of her time in Silicon Valley (notably Uber) is predictably infuriating--the details are already known from her 2017 blog post.
Luckily there's more to her story--how she got to be a software engineer in the first place, and how her original plans to become a physicist were derailed. If anyone doubts that so much could happen to one woman before she turned 30, it just shows how good a job we do of covering up sexual harassment and discrimination, and how we've got institutional policies in place from universities to corporations to ensure it stays hidden. Fowler has a decent writing style and the book is a quick read.
