5 // Steven Levy – A game of Risk with Mark Zuckerberg

While we were sharing our likes and thoughts on Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg was on his mission to build a parallel universe; with shadow profiles, disentangled connections, absorbing more and more companies into the land of Facebook and bombarding you with even more push notifications to drag you back into the rabbit hole.

My guest is Steven Levy, named America’s premier technology journalist by the Washington Post. He dove into the history of the company that literally changed the way in which we communicate and Zuckerbergs’ mission to connect the world. In 2020 he published the book ‘Facebook: the inside story’.

“Mark Zuckerberg is inspired by people like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar – and his favorite board game is Risk” Steven tells. In our conversation, we talk more about his experiences with Mark, some of the bigger scandals and developments at Facebook over the years and what the future of social media might hold for us.
