Destination Silicon Valley

Destination Silicon Valley

By Wu, Lin C

0 - Default Title
Description
At six years old, Lin Wu was forced to leave his mother and flee mainland China amidst the chaos of the Communist revolution. At sixteen, his father brought him to America, abandoning and leaving him utterly alone. Thrust into a perplexing and foreign culture, he possessed little more than a fierce determination to survive.
What followed was a lifelong pursuit of excellence-from escaping the shadow of his autocratic father to joining the founding team at Amdahl Corporation, where he helped beat IBM in delivering the world's fastest mainframe computer.
Destination Silicon Valley is more than a business memoir. It's a story of family, resilience, and the search for meaning at the intersection of tradition and ambition. Ideal for readers of Educated and The Glass Castle, this is an immigrant story rooted in the formative years of Silicon Valley.
