In the wake of scandals and dangers! When Mark Zuckerberg was a sophomore, he created a simple website that he intended as a social network for the university campus. Word of the site spread like wildfire among students, and soon students from all over the country joined Facebook. Today, Facebook no longer resembles Zuckerberg's first, simple creation. It has grown into a tech giant, one of the largest and most influential companies in the world. Facebook is now unavoidable and an integral part of people's everyday lives. We feel it. In the wake of the recent scandals - fake news profiles influencing elections, the worrisome use of users' personal data, the worrying statements of its founder and CEO - the sensitive issues surrounding the company have become more and more pressing. After conducting hundreds of interviews inside and outside the company, Levy dives into the darkest recesses of social media to reveal the story of the tech giant that changed the world and now has to bear the consequences in a compelling and engaging style. Or do we bear the consequences? We can get to know the secrets of Facebook in an unprecedented depth. Take a behind-the-scenes look! Steven Levy, who covered Facebook for three years, is quite simply the best tech journalist. It's amazing what information you've come up with.” – The Information, February Book Club Pick (amazon.com) Recommended for ages 16 and up!
