{"product_id":"silicon-valley-cinema-joe-street-9781399505833","title":"Silicon Valley Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eSilicon Valley corporations now dominate our daily lives to the extent that many of us now question their ability to determine the direction of human life in the twenty-first century. The 2010s saw Hollywood filmmakers engaging in this very debate. Through a sequence of films ranging from biopics of key Silicon Valley leaders to science fiction action films and whimsical workplace comedies, Hollywood films probed Silicon Valley's impact on our past, present, and future. \u003ci\u003eSilicon Valley Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e analyses these films, arguing that they seek to encourage scepticism about our Silicon Valley overlords and have us step back from our immersion in Silicon Valley's world. Doing so, they suggest, might make our working lives more pleasurable, our world a better place, and might even help us avoid a war with genetically enhanced apes or avert a robot-led apocalypse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Street\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399505831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399505833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Joe Street","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881045512447,"sku":"9781399505833","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46ef424c-ee72-4d38-b508-c2ad1ff74d09.jpg?v=1747970503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silicon-valley-cinema-joe-street-9781399505833","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
