On September 14, 2012, Facebook achieved a major milestone: the social networking site tallied one billion active users, meaning that one in seven humans around the planet is now registered on Facebook. Facebook continues to revolutionize the way people interact and dominate digital social networking. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is no stranger to breaking records, or to fueling headlines. He went from a college dropout to becoming one of the world’s youngest self-made billionaires. While Hollywood features and Wall Street whispers have both contributed to the growing Zuckerberg legend, the best way to fully understand his personality, and his management style, is through his own words.
THE BOY BILLIONAIRE: Mark Zuckerberg In His Own Words, edited by George Beahm (December 11, 2012, Agate B2, 978-1-932841-76-3, $10.95), collects nearly a decade’s worth of quotations from Zuckerberg’s speeches, interviews, and writings on subjects ranging from his personal business strategies to the continually changing roles that technology and media play in contemporary society. There’s no denying Facebook’s revolutionizing impact on modern culture, and there is no other book on the market that so succinctly captures the views of the CEO who changed the way we stay connected with each other.
Despite Facebook’s $58 billion market capitalization, the company’s future business potential remains unknown. Its success depends heavily on Zuckerberg’s own ideas and vision. The Boy Billionaire illuminates both the young CEO himself and the company he has created, offering an intimate, authoritative perspective that’s a must-read for aspiring tech innovators, social media mavens, and entrepreneurs everywhere.
Agate B2’s In Their Own Words series has made the words of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and now Mark Zuckerberg more easily accessible to readers. Each book is organized by topic for easy browsing, and each packs an exceptional quantity of insight into a compact format.
