From a teenage coder in a hoodie to one of the most powerful figures in human history, Zuckerberg: The Boy Who Broke the Feed is the full story of how a socially awkward Harvard dropout created the platform that shaped — and distorted — an entire generation. This is not a hit piece. Not a love letter. It’s the autopsy of a system we all clicked on. Told with brutal clarity and insight, this book doesn’t ask whether Mark Zuckerberg is good or evil. It asks whether he ever had to be—when all he needed was your attention.
