More about the book
The book explores the intricate dynamics behind transforming a city into a high-tech hub, akin to Silicon Valley. It delves into the historical significance of high-tech development in the late twentieth century and the challenges in replicating its success. Margaret O'Mara argues that thriving tech regions are not mere market outcomes but are intentionally designed as "cities of knowledge," influenced by early venture capitalists and the Cold War defense industry, highlighting the complex interplay of people, jobs, capital, and institutions.
