The Valley's Dark Twin: A Revisit to Silicon Valley's Libertarian Roots The recent reissue of Paulina Borsook's 2000 book, Cyberselfish , has sparked renewed interest in the tech industry's anti government leanings.

Borsook, who began working for Bay Area software companies in the 1980s, witnessed firsthand how the tech boom transformed her home from a hub of activism to an outpost for engineers with a disdain for government.
