| Jessica Powell, Author, The Big Disruption, and Former Head of Communications, Google Powell left her perch as head of communications for Google to write a satirical novel based on a company that looked suspiciously like Google. The corporate-comms-whiz-turned-satirist will address the myths at the core of Silicon Valley’s mystique. | | |

| Antonio García Martínez, Author, Chaos Monkeys After building Facebook’s precision targeting tools and founding a Y Combinator–backed startup, García Martínez wrote a scathing tell-all memoir about how things work in the Valley. We’ll ask him about his team’s joke that Facebook could throw an election if they wanted to — and what he thinks of politics these days. | | |
|
|
| Nicole Wong, Former Deputy US Chief Technology Officer Wong led legal teams at Google and Twitter before departing to serve as deputy US chief technology officer in the Obama administration. We’ll ask her how her time in Washington, DC, gave her perspective on the legal challenges Big Tech faces right now.

| Powell, García Martínez, and Wong will join an all-star lineup of speakers at Code Conference.
You can join us June 10-12 for that talk and many more at Code’s new location: The Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona. Kara and Peter |
