ISBN: 1250391237Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg's reaction when he learned of Facebook's role in Trump's election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to "lean in."

About the Book Club
The UIC General Book Club is a book club started in 2016 for library staff, faculty, and student workers. It meets once a month and the format varies between discussing what attendees have read in the previous month, or with a chosen book. Starting in 2020, the club has moved virtual to include as many people as we can!
The group has a Goodreads page where books discussed during the meetings are noted (in the bookshelf area) so that if people are interested in something being discussed, they can easily find it to borrow:
