Sara Miles is a journalist who has covered the politics of Silicon Valley for the New York Times Magazine, Wired, and Wired News. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including the New Yorker, the New York Times, Mother Jones, and Out magazine.

"For all the writers who have swarmed to chronicle Silicon Valley's every hiccup, few have Sara Miles' talent for understanding the gestalt of the place and translating it for outsiders, while maintaining the proper degree of skepticism.... How to Hack a Party Line is a feisty, fearless, insightful look at the political awakening that occurred there in the late 1990s." - Joan O'C. Hamilton, Business Week "Miles has excellent reporter's instincts and a light, descriptive prose style.... How to Hack a Party Line contains a number of arresting - and often comical - scenes of Valley hubris colliding with the more deliberate world of old-school politics.... A lively and illuminating read." - Steven Johnson, Washington Post "Her fly-on-the-wall reporting proves breathtaking.... In between anti-Microsoft conspiracy rumors and cameos from Bezos et al., Miles offers trenchant analyses of, among other things, the 'digital divide' and the nuances of party subdivisions. A sweeping debut not only for the author but for this branch of American poli-sci, with color on every page and a hacker's gift for cutting through the blather." - Kirkus Reviews
