La Tech<\/span><\/p>\n Quand la Silicon Valley refait le monde<\/span><\/p>\n Introduction\u00a0to the discussion by Orso Roger<\/a> and Guilhaum Panas<\/a><\/p>\n Quatri\u00e8me de couverture :<\/em> La Silicon Valley, c\u0153ur battant des nouvelles technologies, rythme le quotidien de milliards d\u2019individus. Elle a transform\u00e9 les fa\u00e7ons de communiquer, de s\u2019informer, de travailler, de se divertir et de s\u2019aimer. Perc\u00e9es technologiques, march\u00e9s financiers, cours de justice, ses entreprises occupent le devant de la sc\u00e8ne m\u00e9diatique. De la conqu\u00eate spatiale \u00e0 l\u2019informatique quantique, ses ing\u00e9nieurs repoussent les fronti\u00e8res de l\u2019infiniment grand et de l\u2019infiniment petit. Ses scientifiques projettent la fin de la mort et travaillent au d\u00e9passement de l\u2019humain par la machine.<\/p>\n Ce livre propose une immersion dans un univers qui inspire jusqu\u2019\u00e0 Hollywood, mais qui reste paradoxalement m\u00e9connu. Loin de s\u2019arr\u00eater \u00e0 ses grands noms, il d\u00e9peint le parcours, la mentalit\u00e9 et les fa\u00e7ons de faire de ceux qui bataillent quotidiennement dans un syst\u00e8me hypers\u00e9lectif pour s\u00e9duire les investisseurs, embaucher les meilleurs d\u00e9veloppeurs et trouver la solution qui changera le monde.<\/p>\n Du Burning Man aux mobilisations anti-Tech, il offre une plong\u00e9e dans un monde en perp\u00e9tuelle r\u00e9volution, riche de promesses et d\u2019inqui\u00e9tudes pour l\u2019avenir.<\/p>\n Tech\u00a0: When Silicon Valley reshapes the world<\/span><\/p>\n Back cover: Silicon Valley is the beating heart of new technologies and sets the pace for the daily lives of billions of people. It has transformed the way we communicate, keep up to date, work, enjoy entertainment, and experience love. Its companies are at the forefront of media attention, with technological breakthroughs, financial markets and court cases. From space exploration to quantum computing, its engineers are pushing the boundaries of the infinitely large and small. Its scientists are planning to conquer death and create machines that surpass humans.<\/p>\n This book offers an immersive insight into a world that even inspires Hollywood, yet remains relatively unknown. Rather than focusing solely on the big names, it depicts the journeys, mindsets and methods of the people who battle daily within a hyper-selective system to attract investors, hire the best developers and find solutions that will change the world.<\/p>\n From Burning Man to anti-tech protests, it provides an insight into a world of constant revolution, brimming with both promise and concern for the future.<\/p>\n Olivier Alexandre<\/strong>, La Tech.
