In Silicon Valley, people routinely dream of changing the world. Some do so. Many more almost do. Almost. It is such a Silicon Valley word. This is the story and lessons learned from 12 electric months in the life of a dreamy San Francisco startup that once thought it would be bought by a technology giant and also seemed on the verge of becoming a nationally-known brand. Neither happened, and the lessons are poignant. Almost...the word hurts the soul. So much effort falling into oblivion. And it keeps happening again and again, this amazing effort that seems part of the DNA of Silicon Valley. Why? What is it there that makes it seem essential to swing for the fences? What is Silicon Valley really like? Here is a fascinating 12-month snapshot inside of one company that almost changed the world.

NPR Best Books of 2018 A teen girl and her robot embark on a cross-country mission in this illustrated science fiction story, perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Black Mirror. In late 1997, a runaway teenager and her small yellow toy robot travel west through a strange American landscape where the ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside, along with the discarded trash of a high-tech consumerist society addicted to a virtual-reality system. As they approach the edge of the continent, the world outside the car window seems to unravel at an ever faster pace, as if somewhere beyond the horizon, the hollow core of civilization has finally caved in.

From O.J. to Arnold Schwarzenegger, earthquakes to rolling blackouts, silicon valley to riots in the street, California state historian Kevin Starr has assembled the history of the Golden Gate State since 1990 to create a vivid snapshot of a state constantly on the edge of tomorrow. Coast of Dreams captures an extraordinary place, from its rich and exceptionally diverse palette of people, cultures and values; to its economy that is larger than most nations and mirrors the economic state of the country; to a political landscape so roiled that a Governor can be recalled scant months after his re-election and replaced by a Hollywood action star. This is a book that is sweeping in scope, intimate in detail and altogether fascinated with the splendor of California.

Nausherwan Hasan, a professional engineer who grew up in Pakistan before immigrating to the United States of America, recalls his journey from the East to the West. From an early age, he learned how to deal with challenges when his family was forced to migrate to Pakistan following the partition of India in 1947—a history he revisits in this autobiography. His father had to adjust to a new reality but met it head on with hard work and faith. Hasan shares how he made his way to America and joined Ebasco, which was formed by General Electric in 1905. There, he had the opportunity to work on a range of nuclear power plants, hydro facilities and infrastructure projects. The author, who was nicknamed Nash, worked there his entire career- lasting over 44 years.. Hasan also reflects on surviving two bombings on the World Trade Center, his love affair with New York City, while sharing stories of his work and hid family and the many lessons he learned about pursuing happiness
