How to Hack a Party Line: the Democrats and Silicon Valley
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux
- Publish date: 01/01/2000
Packed with exclusive, behind-the-scenes reporting, How to Hack a Party Line chronicles a high-stakes experiment: the creation of Silicon Valley's first political machine. The book explores the often contradictory forces behind Silicon Valley's political awakening -- a mixture of naive libertarian sentiment, northern California social attitudes, aggressive business instincts, and a raw desire for power. Simultaneously it looks at Centrist "new Democrats" who have left behind the liberal coalitions of the industrial economy and are seeking a new identity in the values proclaimed by high-tech capitalists: growth, globalism, efficiency, and innovation.
How to Hack a Party Line combines a colorful, character-rich narrative with serious reporting and political analysis. It asks what values prosper when high-tech business becomes the metaphor for society -- and how, in the twenty-first century, democracy will respond.
