Did I pick this up because Marc Zuckerberg didn’t want people to read this? Yes, I’m just a girl.

This was like a historical account of the untold recent (10+) events at Facebook. Wynn-Williams is a great story teller and I enjoyed her hindsight of the events that occurred whilst she worked there. It was juicy, hilarious (they get humbled so many times yet can never take a hint), and informative.

These people are criminals not innovators and this book clearly outlines that. No one should have the ability to sway so many decisions via public narrative, surveillance or capital.

It leaves you with the bleak sense of oligarchy and Ai powered destruction that  we currently live in. However, makes you wonder how our input contributes — maybe giving these apps less access to our time & unsubscribing to hate is the way forward? 

Also, this felt triggering for someone who’s an eldest daughter that’s worked in hostile toxic environments. 🙃
