Summary: I live for detailed, dialogue-filled narrative nonfiction like this, especially when it also comes with interesting questions about ethics in tech! This is the story of the founding of Instagram, with a narrative based on numerous interviews with employees there and at Facebook. And, because Instagram was so quickly acquired by Facebook around the time of the 2016 election, this is also the story of Facebook. Of particular interest was how Facebook (doesn't) handle content moderation and aggressively attempts to draw more users. For me, that was where this story really took off! The ostensible vision of the Instagram founders, focused on aesthetic quality over user quantity, provided a valuable contrast for this discussion. I love books like this! Although I wish the author included more named sources, I understand why that wasn't possible. I also appreciated that she was up front with a caveat that dialogue was from people's later recollections. The writing was on point. Descriptions and dialogue made me feel like I was in the room watching these tech companies make their decisions. The ethical questions that come up around content moderation and what the goals of a social media company should be would make for some great discussion. It wouldn't hurt for more people to be aware of how decisions around these points are made either (poorly and driven by human egos). I'd highly recommend this as a book club read. I think I'd also recommend this to fans of Bad Blood. Although the stakes in this saga aren't as immediately life and death, this still shared the same fascinating insight into a scandal-ridden, Silicon Valley company.This review was originally posted on Doing Dewey
