| 1 | Brooklyn! The Ultimate Guide to New York’s Most Happening Borough | 1999 | Anna Wiener | Buy |
| 2 | Uncanny Valley | 2020 | Anna Wiener | Buy |
Anna Wiener’s non-fiction work spans two very different subjects. Her first book, Brooklyn!, was a travel guide to the borough published in 1999. More than twenty years later, she published Uncanny Valley, a memoir about her time working in Silicon Valley tech companies.
Uncanny Valley became one of the most talked-about tech books of 2020. In it, Wiener describes her move from the publishing industry to a series of startups, and the culture she found there. The book is written with dry humor and a sharp eye for the absurdities of the tech world.
