City on the Edge: SF’s Tech + Culture Evolution Talk (Shack15)

Thursday, June 11, 2026 - 6:00 pm | Cost: $25
Shack15 | 1 Ferry Building

Event Details

Join us at SHACK15 for a special evening celebrating the long-anticipated arrival of City on the Edge, a sweeping account of San Francisco’s transformation at the intersection of technology, politics, and culture.

In conversation with journalist Cory Johnson, author Jonathan Weber will unpack the forces that shaped the city’s rise as a global tech capital—and the tensions that nearly unraveled it. Blending first-hand reporting with deep historical insight, this timely discussion offers a compelling lens on the past, present, and future of San Francisco.
