Книга: Zucked. Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe

American businessman, investor, venture capitalist and previous mentor of Mark Zuckerberg, Roger McNamee, warns us about the dangerous evolution of Facebook, and how their negligence is ultimately resulting in something akin to a dystopian nightmare. Sat in his dorm room, nineteen year old Mark Zuckerberg would never have imagined that his newly born social media platform would evolve into the election-meddling monster that it is today. Facebook's involvement in international politics, whether that be the USA's 2016 presidential election or the UK's Brexit referendum, has left it's 2.1 billion users feeling deeply invaded. In You Won't Believe What Happened Next, McNamee tracks the downhill spiral that Facebook has initiated, exposing it as one of the main foundations of misinformed politics. He explores how algorithms are easily monopolized to feed users interests which is all fun and games when this is limited to a simple shoe brand but becomes immediately alarming when they are manipulated into making serious political decisions. Given the omnipresence of technology combined with the current political climate, McNamee's startling expose is a riveting must-read.
