One of the more eye-opening antics described in Chang's book isn't so safe for work. According to Chang, a crew of founders, VCs, and tech executives organize well-attended "sex parties," where drugs and orgies are the main course. Some invitations are sent via Snapchat, and the "e-parties" often include MDMA molded into the logos of popular tech companies. The stories are based on dozens of interviews with high-ranking Silicon Valley employees, most of whom Chang does not name. The excerpt doesn't discuss companies, but it does describe a pervasive culture in the Valley.
