How to American by Jimmy O. Yang

Jian Yang in Silicon Valley is not a character Asians would be proud of, but according to this entertaining and disturbing memoir, the actor who plays him seems quite tickled with the opportunity. He has been desperately trying to fit in since emigrating to the States as a kid. Inspired by the commencement speech by Mike Judge (who would later create Silicon Valley), Yang abandoned a career in finance to commit to entertainment (and driving Uber) and the luck to pull it off. Even though he feels more at home in Hong Kong, America is the irresistible land of opportunity.
