I —loved— this book. Chang examines the broken systems with funding, development, and HR in Silicon Valley. Sex parties, all-male venture capital firms, and the 80 hr work week... what could go wrong?

If you‘re looking for some good nonfiction, this is it!

julesG Clear sign that I'm hungry: I see your book's title and read "Brot-opia" instead of "Bro-topia". "Brot" being German for bread ?. ? 5y

My #weeklyforecast! I am loving Middlegame so far. It is amazing. BROTOPIA is also making me so angry I can barely read. Yay for emotional reads!

We all know the stories from Silicon Valley about how women are treated at tech companies. This book gives the background on why women had were behind the bros from the beginning of the computer age. Very detailed and well-researched and quite interesting, even for non-tech people like me. If you are in tech, you should read it. If you are a WOMAN in tech, you probably already know why the book was written. Four out of five stars.

I'm so happy Brotopia was written. A frustrating and relatable look into the tech industry's bro culture.

By hiring employees with different lives and different work styles, tech companies could engender new perspectives and creativity.
