The nitty-gritty: A weird take on the locked room mystery, Glass Houses was entertaining and unique despite some flaws. “When you were a woman in tech, you could either emphasize the woman or the tech, and the founders of Wuv clearly favored the former. A woman could do the whole jeans and ironic T-shirts thing, […]
