The title of this book is perfectly fitting for the story Sarah Wynn-Williams recounts, as the subjects seem entirely self-absorbed, prioritizing their own interests above all else. Even the author, who frames her early work at Facebook as an attempt to change the world for the better, cannot fully escape accountability for the monster the platform eventually became—regardless of how minor her personal contribution may have been in the grand scheme. Ultimately, the book’s most compelling takeaway is that strong regulation is paramount for any emerging industry; without it, these entities risk growing into forces that are impossible to tame.
