Broken Code

"Broken Code" by award-winning technology reporter Jeff Horwitz offers a revealing inside look at Facebook's controversial growth tactics and the alarming consequences they have on society. Drawing from testimonies of brave insiders, the audiobook explores the company’s failure to address critical issues like disinformation and user safety, particularly after the tumultuous events following the 2016 election. As employees uncovered profound problems ranging from amplifying anger to enabling harmful activities, they faced dilemmas between loyalty and moral responsibility in a platform that claimed to connect people but often distorted human interaction. This sobering narrative highlights the complexities of Facebook's impact, transcending the company's later rebranding to Meta.
