Non-profit organization LiteracyWorks and Copperfield's Books presents as part of its Lecture Series Roger McNamee and his The New York Times’ bestseller about a noted tech venture capitalist, early mentor to Mark Zuckerberg, and Facebook investor, who wakes up to the serious damage Facebook is doing to our society - and sets out to try to stop it. Zucked is both an enthralling personal narrative and a masterful explication of the forces that have conspired to place us all on the horns of this dilemma. This is the story of a company and its leadership, but it's also a larger tale of a business sector unmoored from normal constraints, just at a moment of political and cultural crisis, the worst possible time to be given new tools for summoning the darker angels of our nature and whipping them into a frenzy.
AUTHOR: Roger McNamee has been a Silicon Valley investor for 35 years and co-founded successful funds in venture, crossover, and private equity. His most recent fund, Elevation, included U2's Bono as a co-founder. He holds a B.A. From Yale University and an M.B.A. From the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.
