The Boy Kings

A Journey into the Heart of the Social Network

Katherine Losse

This book provides an inside look into the early days of Facebook, through the eyes of an early employee who became the personal ghostwriter for Mark Zuckerberg. The book explores the intense sense of mission that came with working for the social media giant, and how it affected real-life relationships. It delves into the personalities and values of the young upstarts who are redefining the way we live, love, and work, and raises important questions about the kind of world Facebook is trying to build. The author's personal reflection at the start of the book is particularly engaging.

I’m deep into Katherine Losse’s excellent book about the creation of Facebook, “Boy Kings." It was published in 14, so while it’s ancient history, it was written contemporaneously and thus is even more revealing, packed as it is with dramatic irony.      source
