In "Zucked," Roger McNamee, a seasoned investor and mentor to Silicon Valley's brightest, delivers a riveting insider's look at the unforeseen consequences of Facebook's ascendancy and its alarming impact on democracy. Once a fervent supporter and early advisor to Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, McNamee's journey from advocate to critic unfolds as he confronts the dark realities of a platform manipulated by malicious forces. His account is not just a personal reckoning but a stark warning about the unchecked power of tech giants. With compelling insight, McNamee exposes how Facebook, under the leadership of Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, has turned a blind eye to the proliferation of misinformation and the erosion of privacy. "Zucked" is a clarion call for accountability, urging us to confront the moral responsibilities of Silicon Valley's moguls. Through McNamee's intimate narrative, we witness the transformation of a tech enthusiast into a vigilant watchdog, challenging us to question the very fabric of our interconnected world.
