Zuckerberg

Zuckerberg
The Boy Who Broke the Feed

by James Johnson

Dedication

To every mind that ever got lost in the scroll.
You weren’t lazy.
You were mapped.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


TO THE ENGINEERS, whistleblowers, journalists, and freakishly smart internet kids who dug through source code, scraped archive pages, and refused to log off.

To the friends who watched me write this with 32 tabs open.

And to the feed itself, for being both the weapon and the warning.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


JJ IS THE author of Behind the Hat, the .exe series, and a Trojan Horse library of truth disguised as biography. His work explores the architecture of power from emperors to algorithms and how the world got coded while no one was looking. He writes fast, punches hard, and leaves the reader wide awake.
