Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg boosts book popularity

Today

Available for over a year

The book that seems to be getting everyone talking this year is 'The End of Power' by Moises Naim, a former Venezuelan government minister. His book received an unexpected and stratospheric boost a few weeks ago when the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg chose it to launch his online book club. Moises Naim told Today: "I had a book out and all of a sudden the book attracted global attention just because Mark Zuckerberg decided to read it and make it the first book of his book club." "One knows that Facebook is a global enterprise, but it's not the same thing as experiencing it." "Immediately my world exploded with requests."
