AB - "'Silicon Valley Journal' details random events in the life of Mrs. John Glenn, a resident living in Silicon Valley. As she settles into a new apartment complex, social sphere, and last name, Mrs. Glenn gradually discovers the various oddities the area has to offer her, including (but not limited to): sneaky slugs, the lifestyle of the previous family living in her apartment, a newfound weakness towards Safeway, a mysterious tomato thief, and some surprisingly easy ways to acquire wealth.<br><br>Marshall's hypertext is fairly linear in structure, though users have the option to return to the table of contents at any time to select an article of their own choosing. The images she uses serve as digital artifacts from Mrs. Glenn's life in relation to particular experiences, which are related to the reader in first person. Though the work is simple in its design, the colorful writing is nevertheless entertaining to read-- though it portrays Silicon Valley as an unexciting area to live in on the surface, Marshall manages to make it fascinating by implying that mysteries lie just beneath." -- Kathleen Zoller, <em>The Progressive Dinner Party Restored</em>
