SAN FRANCISCO - Capitale du monde de demain

In the cities of Palo Alto, Mountain View, Cupertino and downtown San Francisco, fortunes are being made in record time. The best engineers and businessmen, from all over the world, are being poached at exorbitant prices. California's growth rate is breaking new records every year (nearly 6% this year) and the state of California now produces more wealth than France. Google, whose headquarters is a real private city, or Twitch, an online gaming social network that its founders have just sold to Amazon for a billion dollars, are the spearheads of this region. A young Frenchwoman, Mathilde Collins, is making her way through the jungle of start-ups that are multiplying in San Francisco. Behind this technological revolution is also a revolution in lifestyles.
