Facebook : the inside story / by Levy, Steven,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In his sophomore year of college, Mark Zuckerberg created a simple website to serve as a campus social network. The site caught on like wildfire, and soon students nationwide were on Facebook. Today, Facebook is nearly unrecognizable from Zuckerberg's first, modest iteration. It has grown into a tech giant, the largest social media platform and one of the most gargantuan companies in the world, with a valuation of more than $576 billion and almost 3 billion users. There is no denying the power and omnipresence of Facebook in American daily life. And 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, never has the company been more central to the national conversation. Based on years of exclusive reporting and interviews with Facebook's key executives and employees, including Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, Steven Levy's sweeping narrative digs deep into the whole story of the company that has changed the world and reaped the consequences"--

The four : the hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google / by Galloway, Scott,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The acclaimed NYU business professor's tour de force on the true nature of technology's titans, and what happens next in their struggle to dominate our lives. How high can they continue to rise? Does any other company stand a chance of competing? In his highly provocative first book, Galloway pulls back the curtain on exactly how Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google built their massive empires. Galloway exposes the truth about these "Four Horsemen." None of these four are first movers technologically; they've either copied, stolen, or acquired their ideas. Each company uses evolutionary psychology to appeal to our basest instincts.

The power of one : how I found the strength to tell the truth and why I blew the whistle on Facebook / by Haugen, Frances,author.;
"The inside story of one woman's quest to bring transparency and accountability to Big Tech, by the Facebook whistleblower who is determined to help us all retake control of our lives. In 2021, when news outlets feasted on "the Facebook Files," Frances Haugen went public as the former employee who blew the whistle on the company by copying tens of thousands of pages of documents. She testified to Congress and spoke to the media. She was hailed at President Biden's first State of the Union Address. She made sure everyone understood exactly what the documents revealed: Facebook knew it had accidentally changed its algorithm to reward extremism and refused to fix it; it knew that its customers were using the platform to foment violence, to spread falsehoods, to diminish the self-esteem of young women, and more. But how was it that Haugen was the only employee at the company who dared to step forward? The answer to that question is an inspiring tale of one young woman's life and the choices she made. From an isolated childhood in Iowa to an unaccredited college, to one among the few women at Google in its heyday, Frances Haugen learned how to focus on what mattered, and to ignore her critics. To harness the strength of standing in the truth. The Power of One is equally inspiring--the story of a woman who went against the grain, again and again, and changed the world--and horrifying, as the culture and practices of Facebook are brought into the bright light of day, for the first time."--
