A memoir by a ruminative loop in a kingdom of vectors.
In the early 2010s, Anna Wiener had an assistant’s job at a literary agency in New York. She dated the kind of artisanal Brooklyn men who “made chapbooks or live-edge wood furniture,” and, she maintains, she didn’t even have apps on her phone. She was broke, working in an industry with notoriously low pay and sparse opportunities to move up. When she read about a new startup that had landed $3 million in funding to offer e-books on a subscription model, she decided she wanted in.
Like many young women before her, Wiener finds it all too easy to get caught up in the slipstream of purposeful men. Her first San Francisco job, for a company that produced data-mining tools, was headed up by a CEO who was a spectacularly poor manager, even for a guy in his early 20s. When Wiener suggested that some praise from him might help motivate the team she oversaw, he frowned and asked: “Why would I thank you for doing your job well? That’s what I’m paying you for.
