Overview
El libro que Mark Zuckerberg trató de silenciar... Y probablemente con buen criterio.
Sarah Wynn Williams, una joven diplomática neozelandesa, decidió en 2009 dar un giro a su carrera y postularse a un trabajo en Facebook, la empresa que por aquel entonces prometía cambiar el mundo… a mejor. Pero, al escalar en la jerarquía, se dio cuenta del tremendo error cometido. Este libro, una comedia disparatada con tintes trágicos, da cuenta de la vida en las más altas esferas y de la mentalidad despiadada que ha gobernado las grandes empresas tecnológicas. Escrita en forma de memorias, narra situaciones absurdas vividas por la protagonista mientras Facebook intenta expandirse alrededor del mundo: desde escenas cómicas con la Gallina Caponata en las bambalinas de un festival, hasta las terribles matanzas en Myanmar provocadas por la obsesión de Meta por crecer sin parar.
Este libro es ante todo una mirada privilegiada al mundo de los tecnooligarcas y un retrato despiadado y certero de la hipocresía, insensatez y ligereza con la que se toman las grandes decisiones que condicionan la vida de miles de millones de personas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The book Mark Zuckerberg tried to silence... And probably for good reason.
Sarah Wynn Williams, a young New Zealand diplomat, decided in 2009 to pivot her career and apply for a job at Facebook, the company that at the time promised to change the world—for the better. But as she climbed the ranks, she realized the magnitude of her mistake. This book, a madcap comedy with tragic undertones, offers an inside look at life at the highest levels and the ruthless mindset that has governed big tech companies. Written as a memoir, it recounts absurd situations the protagonist experienced while Facebook tried to expand across the globe: from comic scenes with Big Bird backstage at a festival to the horrific massacres in Myanmar driven by Meta’s obsession with relentless growth.
Above all, this book is a privileged look at the world of the techno-oligarchs and a blunt, incisive portrait of the hypocrisy, foolishness, and carelessness with which major decisions are made—decisions that shape the lives of billions of people.
