Seeing Through Silicon - Trailer
It's here. After fifty years of carrying this story, I'm finally telling it.
Seeing Through Silicon is the series I didn't know how to write until now — about the fab floors, the hands that built Silicon Valley's first chips, and the parts of that history nobody put in the record. Starting with mine.
This is just the trailer. The real story begins Labor Day 2026.

Silicon Valley wasn’t built by CEOs. It was built by the people they forgot.
Seeing Through Silicon is a narrative audio, limited series that pulls back the curtain on the forgotten frontline workers—the women and men who built Silicon Valley’s semiconductor industry from the ground up.
Set in the 1970s and told firsthand by someone who was there, these are the untold stories of life and work inside the fabs: a time when chipmaking ruled the valley, the Wild West had no rules, and the people who made it all possible were left in the shadows.
Fifty years later, the technology has changed. But the questions haven’t:
Who gets left behind this time?
What rules will we break—or who will break them?
And will we finally listen to the voices we ignored before?
Welcome to Seeing Through Silicon—where underdogs DO become heroes.
Subscribe now to hear the stories that Silicon Valley tried to forget—and the lessons we still haven’t learned. As AI reshapes our world, these stories offer a roadmap for doing things differently.
