Sunnyvale: The Rise and Fall of a Silicon Valley Family

In Sunnyvale California in 1979 Jeff Goodells family lived quietly on Meadowlark Lane unaware that their town was soon to become ground zero in the digital revolution. Over the course of the next decade as Silicon Valley boomed the Goodell family unraveled.. Splintered by their parents divorce Jeff and his siblings careen toward self-destruction while their parents end up on opposite sides of the technological divide: their mother succeeds beyond her wildest dreams at a small company with a dopey rainbow-colored logo called Apple while their father refuses to keep up with the times and loses his landscaping business. Affecting and personal Sunnyvale is a portrait of one familys fate in a brutally Darwinian world. It is also a thoughtful examination of what has happened to the American family in the face of the technological revolution.
