DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1FM presents\n\n"The Dark Shadow of Tech on the S.F. Bay 
 Area"\nAn amazingly timely discussion by experts:\nCary McClelland, author 
 of "Silicon City: San Francisco in the Long Shadow of the 
 Valley\n+\nRichard A. Walker. author of "Pictures of a Gone City: Tech and 
 The Dark Side of Prosperity in the San Francisco Bay Area \n\nHosted by

 www.kpfa.org/events \n\nCary McClelland is a writer, filmmaker, lawyer, and 
 rights advocate.  His book is an eye-opening portrait of San Francisco 
 transformed by the tech boom. Famously home to artists and activists, 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. Cracks in the city's facade-rapid 
 gentrification, an epidemic of evictions, rising crime, atrophied public 
 institutions-have started to appear. 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. We hear from people who have 
 passed through Apple, Google, eBay, Intel, and the other big tech companies 
 of our time. We meet those who are experiencing 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 many fascinating others.\n\nRichard A. Walker is professor 
 emeritus of geography at the University of California, Berkeley. He has 
 written on a diverse range of topics in economic, urban, and environmental 
 geography.  \n\nSasha Lilley is the host of KPFA's critically acclaimed 
 program of radical ideas, Against the Grain.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
