It was fascinating to read this insider view of the emergence of the Facebook empire and the terrible people who helped create it. However, it was unsettling that the author was disparaging the people and their actions that she, herself, remained working with for many years - only until she is let go. Our book group spent a lot of our discussion time on this possible contradiction.
Well written and extremely engaging.
bla bla bla. where is the shark from the cover!
brought me back to the good old days of social media (2012) when everyone thought technology would save the world. Then gave a detailed retelling of how greed disrupted that. Good but not great. full of excuses
I was already aware of much of the corruption discussed in this exposé, but it’s still upsetting to know the details. This book is more confirmation that corporations will always care more about profits than ethics. These Big Tech leaders are narcissists that became billionaires from their crimes against humanity. Corporations will never do the right thing out of the goodness of their hearts. My thoughts? We need to regulate the shit out of these depraved companies and quit giving more and more power to the worst humans amongst us. (3 stars because this author is fully complicit.)
