An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination by Sheera Frenkel

3.0

The first time Mark Zuckerberg saw a website called "the Facebook", it had been conceived, coded, and named by someone else. It was a goodwill project meant to help friends connect with one another. It was free. And Zuckerberg's first instinct was to break it.


I'm unsure if this book brought anything new to the conversation -but it sure made a good recollection of events ever since Facebook's creation. The timeline was a little confusing for me, but overall it was an interesting read, especially for people that haven't followed the news as closely as I did.

As a resume: yes, Facebook is not good, and I admire the authors for their thoughtful and courageous reporting on one of the biggest powers in tech.
