(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- On November 20, 2025, author and internet pioneer SE Quinn will appear at Book Passage at the Ferry Building for a reading and conversation about her debut memoir, Digital Odyssey: Tech Whiz Girl Bursts Own Bubble (Ballast Books, 2025). The event celebrates Susan Quinn's acclaimed new book, a vivid personal history from the dawn of Silicon Valley's internet revolution.

In Digital Odyssey, Quinn traces her journey from single mother and self-taught technology CEO to founder of Wordcasters, the first live text-streaming platform, recognized in Mecklermedia's Guide to Webcasting as the only source for text streaming at the time. Her story-equal parts innovation chronicle and personal reckoning-examines ambition, motherhood, and the search for self-worth beyond systems built to overlook both.

Lauded by Kirkus Reviews as“a hard, bracing look back at being a woman leader in the first era of the Silicon Valley grind,” Digital Odyssey is a must-read title that has received glowing reviews. Describing the book as“a revealing memoir that treats the 1990s tech world as a mirror reflecting what's changed since then for women and for the world-and what hasn't,” Kirkus also praises Quinn's“wry self-awareness and sharp comic timing” throughout the book.

Quinn's appearance at Book Passage will include a brief reading, Q&A, and signing. Guests will be treated to complimentary pours from Vinos Unidos and Caymus Vineyards, featuring red, white, and rosé selections from their award-winning wine portfolios. Copies of Digital Odyssey will be available for purchase on site and online at sequinn or wherever books are sold.
