Overview
Steven Levy has been tailing Facebook's story since as far back as March 2006, when he was still Newsweek's Chief Technology Writer.
In Facebook: The Inside Story, Levy builds on years of reporting, and three years of unprecedented access to Facebook, to develop an intriguing account of Facebook's journey. When Levy was granted access to Facebook, he even had access to Chief Operating Officer, Sheryl Sandberg, and frequently joined Mark Zuckerberg's traveling entourage as part of his research for this book.
Here, Levy enables us to experience some of the most critical moments in Facebook's history just as if we were in the room when it happened.
