The Social Network that Changed the World: From Startup to Metaverse

The story of how a young Harvard student created the largest social network in the world has already entered entrepreneurship textbooks. The power and omnipresence of Mark Zuckerberg's company, which he renamed Meta in 2021 (recognized as an extremist organization in Russia), cannot be denied. How and through what means did the startup become a corporation worth over a trillion dollars? Noted journalist Steven Levy spent three years talking to Facebook employees (recognized as an extremist organization in Russia), including Zuckerberg himself and COO Sheryl Sandberg, to tell the most complete story of the company from Palo Alto. His book is about incredible successes and fatal failures, about unchecked power and shocking methods of operation, about the ambitions and idealism of people whose product changed the internet and threatened the idea of anonymity. It tells how step by step the company became part of our world and what happened when it succeeded in doing so.
