An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Domination is an investigative nonfiction account of Facebook’s rise to global influence and the internal choices that shaped its controversies. Written by New York Times reporters Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang, the book examines how the company moved from a celebrated Silicon Valley success story to a platform criticized for amplifying misinformation, hate speech, political manipulation, privacy abuses, and monopolistic behavior. Rather than treating these failures as isolated mistakes, the authors present them as consequences of a business model built around growth, engagement, and data extraction. The book draws on reporting, insider accounts, and internal company dynamics to explain how Facebook’s leadership responded to crises, public criticism, and regulatory pressure. Its purpose is not simply to condemn the company, but to show how platform design, executive decisions, and incentives can shape public discourse at a scale that affects democracy, markets, and everyday users.
