Anna Wiener

Anna Wiener is a successful American writer of nonfiction books and memoirs. She has recently written and published her debut book, a memoir called Uncanny Valley. In addition to writing books, Wiener is employed as a tech correspondent at The New Yorker. Author Wiener hails from Brooklyn, where she was brought up. Later, she relocated from New York City to San Francisco at the age of 25 to look for a job in the tech field. Before that, she tried her hand at publishing, but felt that her career in this field lacked momentum. As she had an interest in data mining and processing, she was attracted to the work culture in Silicon Valley. When some classified information was leaked by Edward Snowden and there was no response from the tech industry to it, she became disillusioned with the area of work and decided to leave the job.
