In reply to Jen Exoo. She is definitely not innocent, but I believe everything in the book. I'm just so disgusted by how craven Zuckerberg is in his pursuit of money and power.

I agree with your review and don’t blame you for deleting the whole mess! But I gave this book 3.5⭐️ precisely beacuse I felt she was complicit in creating the beast she’s now so ready to skewer. She KNEW. And ignored. So the moral high ground she tried to take in the end just didn’t fly with me. I guess at least I’m glad her conscience FINALLY kicked in. Facebook got a restraining order so that she couldn’t promote the book (too late to stop her publishing it) – and because of that it’s not getting the public attention it likely should.

In reply to Susan. It's infuriating because the original premise of keeping people in touch is critical right now but has been perverted by Zuckerberg's chasing power and the almighty dollar.

In reply to Erica M. It is definitely a book that will get people talking! At the same time it left me deeply saddened and questioning if we even have real elections anymore. It's all about the money.

In reply to Liz. It's not a need I feel, but a reality. Everything happening in our country right now is political. Rising prices, rising unemployment, the loss of healthcare coverage for millions of Americans, the loss of $12 billion dollars in tourism revenue this summer...it's all political. My escape is also reading.

Look at you reading nonfiction! But wowsa … this must have given enough inside info to make you turn your stomach and get rid of your FB account. I think I should get rid of mine too (just like I did Twitter a year or two ago). I never use FB … but ole Zuck owns Instagram too right? I’d like to get rid of the whole lot of these billionaire kill the ring types. Time for more escape reading next.

I am so sorry you feel the need to be so political. Reading is my getaway.
