What more could an ex-tech exec who’s launched a career as a mystery writer want? We live in a place of big egos, ruthless competition and people who are used to getting their way. He doesn’t repeat the question three or four times with incredulity.īut the truth is that Raffel can’t walk down the street of his hometown without bumping into potential characters, spying possible scenes or overhearing precious bits of perfect dialogue. He doesn’t laugh, roll his eyes or ask me to leave the comfort of his Palo Alto living room. What makes Silicon Valley a good setting for a novel? No sooner does the question leave my lips than I realize just how dumb it is. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The second, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, became a #1 New York Times best seller when it came out in 2019.
