'It's basically a bunch of autistic people wandering around' — Michael Lewis on Silicon Valley

Michael Lewis is not a huge fan of Silicon Valley, America's capital of high tech. At least, he's not into the culture of Silicon Valley. 

"It's basically a bunch of autistic people wandering around," Lewis said on Bloomberg TV.

He was asked whether he would ever write another book about technology. He wrote The New New Thing, which covered the tech industry in the late '90s. Since then, his books have veered towards business or sports.

"I find it's such a hard place to write about," said Lewis of Silicon Valley. "'The New New Thing' was the single hardest book I wrote. It's a hard place to write about because there's a lack of emotional content. It's a cold place."
