Tech startups in fiction; Editor's Tip; sensitivity reading.
Tahmima Anam and Mateo Askaripour discuss their novels, both set in the fast frenzied world tech startups.
Two new novels - The Startup Wife by Tahmima Anam and Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour - are set in the fast, frenzied, heady world of new tech companies.
