Silicon Alleys: Selected Metro Silicon Valley Columns 2005-2020

In 2005 the editors of Metro Silicon Valley San Joses alternative weekly newspaper gave Gary Singh his own column Silicon Alleys to explore the underbelly of San Jose from a perspective only a creative native could offer. To this day he still writes the column every week. Now a selection of Garys greatest hits over 250 columns in chronological order is available in one mammoth volume hand-picked by the columnist. Following a gnarly foreword by cyberpunk science fiction pioneer Rudy Rucker a glorious mishmash of humanity emerges. UFO researchers sit right alongside rock stars repo men and professional wrestlers. Buddhist scholars hold column space with womens drinking clubs. Abandoned strip malls return to life. From punk rock to high art from dive bars to luxury digs from literary vibes to forgotten history no other body of work more aptly sorts out the guts of Americas 10th largest city than Garys weekly column.
