He has had unprecedented access to Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg for three years. And now renowned tech writer Steven Levy delivers the definitive history of one of America’s most powerful and controversial companies: Facebook.
In his sophomore year of college, Mark Zuckerberg created a simple website to serve as a campus social network. The site caught on like wildfire, and soon students nationwide were on Facebook.
Today, Facebook is nearly unrecognizable from Zuckerberg’s first, modest iteration. It has grown into a tech giant, the largest social media platform and one of the most gargantuan companies in the world, with a valuation of more than $576 billion and almost 3 billion users, including those on its fully owned subsidiaries, Instagram and WhatsApp. There is no denying the power and omnipresence of Facebook in American daily life. And in light of recent controversies surrounding election-influencing “fake news” accounts, the handling of its users’ personal data, and growing discontent with the actions of its founder and CEO, never has the company been more central to the national conversation.
Based on hundreds of interviews inside and outside the company, Levy’s sweeping narrative digs deep into the whole story of the company that has changed the world and reaped the consequences.

Now to take over other campuses. .... The first was Columbia University. On the surface, that might not have seemed like the most propitious takeover site. A competitor had existed there: in mid-2003. But game master Zuckerberg was making a counterintuitive move instead of moving first to the schools where The facebook had the highest chance of working, he attacked the schools where he thought he had the lowest chance of success. Meaning those schools where students had other choices
'That was a critical difference in Mark's personality, The other people who had created these things were really happy that they were successful at the school they kind of focused on, maintaining and improving the feature set and just sort of continuing to offer a great social network. Mark wanted to see ... (查看原文)
Zuckerberg resisted the Crimson correspondents insinuations that he might be sitting on a gold mine. “Having [thefacebook) be wildly successful is cool, I guess.” he said. "But I mean, I dunno, money is not the goal..”
