Power Of One

In September 2021, the Wall Street Journal released the Facebook Files - a huge cache of information looking at the immoral practices of Facebook - how they treated politicians favorably, how they incited violence in Ethiopia, and much more.

The person responsible for revealing these was Frances Haugen.

With this book, Haugen not only aims to expose the issues at the company, but to also educate and inspire readers to think differently about their social media use and the implications of such big companies. Because if Facebook can't or won't stop the issues, where does that leave governments and ordinary citizens.

The book will tell her personal story - about her career and the moments that led to her becoming a whistle-blower - as well as looking more into the files that she released and how we can have a different relationship with tech.
