Question for the group.

When was the last time you went to church?

That's a big question.

I'm Jewish, so I think we go to temple, not church.

Okay.

And I went pretty recently for the high holidays, Lauren.

Very nice.

Lovely.

I think I went when I was on vacation.

I like popping into churches when I'm traveling to different places.

Nice. Light a little candle. Yeah. Let's look at the architecture.

What about you? Make? Yeah. What about you?

I swear I was listening to what you were both saying, but while you were talking, while also listening, I was also racking my brain to try and remember

the last time that I was in a church, and I cannot remember the last time. I really just do not know.

That's totally fair. Well, Silicon Valley has its own relationship with God, and that is what

we're going to be talking about this week. Is everybody ready? I'm very ready. I'm ready for

confession time.

This is Wired's Uncanny Valley, a show about the people, power, and influence of Silicon Valley.

I'm Michael Collori, director of consumer tech and culture here at Wired.

I'm Lauren Good. I'm a senior writer at Wired.

And I'm Zoe Shipper, Wired's director of business and industry.

Power, money, and influence. This has long been part of the allure for many in the tech world.
