Dive into the heart of Silicon Valley's paradoxes with Mike Trigg, a former tech insider turned author, on "Tech Unveiled: Mike Trigg on the Crossroads of Innovation and Intrigue." This episode promises a riveting journey through the highs and lows of the tech industry, as seen through the eyes of someone who has not only lived it but has also critically examined its impact through his literary work.

Mike Trigg, with a career spanning over two decades in Silicon Valley, brings a wealth of experience and insights into the conversation. From the launch of his first novel, Bit Flip, lauded for its acute dissection of startup culture, to his latest work, Burner, which explores the murky waters of online movements and political disinformation, Mike's narratives are as compelling as they are enlightening.

We'll delve into the inspiration behind Mike's transition from tech executive to novelist, uncovering the stories and real-life events that fuel his fiction. Mike will discuss the challenges of capturing the essence of Silicon Valley's innovation-driven ethos while highlighting its darker, often overlooked aspects.

Further, we'll navigate the ethical dilemmas and societal implications of emerging technologies. Mike will share his perspective on AI's role in our future, the digital manipulation of public opinion, and the evolving landscape of freedom of speech online. We'll also touch on the potential solutions to bridge the growing divide fostered by digital platforms and how storytelling can play a pivotal role in sparking meaningful conversations.

"Tech Unveiled: Mike Trigg on the Crossroads of Innovation and Intrigue" is an invitation to look beyond the glossy surface of tech's achievements to understand the complex narratives that shape our world.
