Facebook: The Inside Story
by Steven Levy - Biography, Business, Nonfiction, Technology

As a college sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg created a simple website to serve as a campus social network. Today, Facebook is nearly unrecognizable from its first, modest iteration. In light of recent controversies surrounding election-influencing “fake news” accounts, the handling of its users’ personal data, and growing discontent with the actions of its founder and CEO --- who has enormous power over what the world sees and says --- never has a company been more central to the national conversation. Based on hundreds of interviews from inside and outside Facebook, Steven Levy’s sweeping narrative of incredible entrepreneurial success and failure digs deep into the whole story of the company that has changed the world and reaped the consequences.
