SUMMARY:BINDERY: Launch for Cary McClelland / Silicon City
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts the launch party for Cary McClelland andSilicon City: San Francisco in the Long Shadow of The Valley\, an intimate\, eye-opening portrait of San Francisco transformed by the tech boom. More TBA soon — save the date and join us! \n  \nSan Francisco is changing at warp speed. Famously home to artists and activists\, and known as the birthplace of the Beats\, the Black Panthers\, and the LGBTQ movement\, in recent decades the Bay Area has been reshaped by Silicon Valley\, the engine of the new American economy. The richer the region gets\, the more unequal and less diverse it becomes\, and cracks in the city’s facade—rapid gentrification\, an epidemic of evictions\, rising crime\, atrophied public institutions—have started to show. \n  \nInspired by Studs Terkel’s classic works of oral history\, writer and filmmaker Cary McClelland spent several years interviewing people at the epicenter of the recent change\, from venture capitalists and coders to politicians and protesters\, from native sons and daughters to the city’s newest arrivals. The crisp and vivid stories of Silicon City’s diverse cast capture San Francisco as never before. \n  \nThe book opens with a longtime tour guide recounting the history of the original Gold Rush and observing how little the people of his city pay attention to its history; it ends on Fisherman’s Wharf\, with the proprietor of an arcade game museum reminding us that even today’s technology will become relics of the past. In between we hear from people who have passed through Apple\, Google\, eBay\, Intel\, and the other big tech companies of our time. And we meet those who are experiencing the changes at the grassroots level: a homeless advocate in Haight-Ashbury\, an Oakland rapper\, a pawnbroker in the Mission\, a man who helped dismantle and rebuild the Bay Bridge\, and a woman who runs a tattoo parlor in the Castro. \n  \nSilicon City masterfully weaves together a candid conversation across a divided community to create a dynamic portrait of a beloved city—and a cautionary tale for the entire country. \n  \n\n  \nCary McClelland is a writer\, filmmaker\, lawyer\, and rights advocate whose work has taken him around the world. He met his wife in San Francisco\, where they settled down and built their first home. They now live in Brooklyn with their son. \n  \nPlease note: This event will be at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \n  \nThis is an all ages event. The bar opens at 7pm; event begins at 7:30pm. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required.
