Inside Facebook

The book that Facebook doesn't want you to read! NSA scandal, election manipulations, Cambridge Analytica, Trump... that's just the tip of the iceberg! Renowned New York Times reporters Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang provide an unprecedented insight into the most powerful and opaque corporation in the world. Drawing from their years of investigative research, during which they conducted hundreds of interviews, the authors present a Facebook that we have never seen before. They get closer to Sheryl Sandberg and Mark Zuckerberg than anyone ever has. We learn about the roles Zuckerberg and Sandberg play, how consequential decisions are made behind closed doors, shady deals are struck with politicians, and opaque networks are formed. And how a machine for generating wealth is kept running at all costs - with devastating consequences: the erosion of privacy and democracy, a threat to our societies. Brilliantly written, reported up close, it's a thriller about manipulation and intrigue in one of the world's most powerful corporations - like Dave Eggers' The Circle, but real.
