What Reviewers Are Saying
"[Chang] is clearly engaged with and often incensed by her subject, and the best parts of Brotopia are those moments when she actively resists the 'it's all good' ethos of the Bay Area and cuts down chauvinism with the disdain it deserves." --New York Times "Brotopia goes far beyond the salacious to offer an important examination of why the technology industry is so dominated by men--and how women are pushing back." --Financial Times
