The Principal Investigators expect to have a portfolio of three Silicon Valley Culture books. The first, Cultures@SiliconValley, has already published by Stanford University Press. The second book, Busy Bodies, is based on detailed observations of fourteen working families and is authored by all three of the SVCP Principal Investigators. The finishing touches are being placed on the manuscript in the summer of 2004. The third book is an ethnography of Silicon Valley that takes account of the changes that have come with a volitile economy. That book, authored by Darrah and Freeman, is tentatively titled Remaking Everyday Life: The Hidden Innovations of Silicon Valley.
