- Steven Levy basically reported about Facebook since the early beginning, he knows Mark Zuckerberg personally and met him multiple times for this book together with other people who worked on Facebook
- He doesn't just write about Facebook, as you might think when reading the title, actually some parts are more like a Biography of Mark Zuckerberg. He even goes into details how Mark's parents met - all this reminds me more of the Biographies about Steve Jobs and Elon Musk I read.
- He really describes the history and architecture of Facebook well
- It gives a lot of details about the strategies Facebook used or still uses

Great book if you are proficient in English

It is a great book, but when I was reading it I was not so proficient in English and some chapters are really hard to read - especially because David Mitchell tried to write like how the people in the different time ages spoke

cdm finished reading Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow
cdm reviewed Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow
very powerful book
5 stars
- Ronan Farrow is the kid of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow
- He is an investigative journalist
- The book is about the sexual abuse of powerful Hollywood producers like Harvey Weinstein
- It is interesting because I also read the book of Ronan Farrows father (Woody Allen) who is accused of having sexually abused his own daughter
- In Woody Allen's book he says he did never abuse her and that this is ridiculous, in this book Ronan seems to believe the side of his mother and sister more even though he was at the time too little so he didn't notice anything
- He shows how powerful people like Harvey Weinstein, Trump and leading people at NBC and CBS used their power to sexually abuse young women
- He also shows how these companies protected their leaders even though they destroyed lives
