How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University is a nonfiction account by student journalist Theo Baker that combines campus reporting, institutional critique, and a coming of age perspective. The book follows Baker after he arrives at Stanford expecting a conventional elite education and becomes involved with the student newspaper. His reporting into allegations concerning scientific research associated with Stanford president Marc Tessier-Lavigne ultimately contributes to a major institutional reckoning and Tessier-Lavigne's resignation. Baker uses that investigation as one thread in a wider examination of Stanford's relationship to Silicon Valley. The university is presented not simply as a place of scholarship, but as an environment where investors, founders, administrators, and highly selected students can form unusually direct networks of wealth and influence. Its purpose is therefore broader than recounting a reporting victory. It asks how prestige is produced, how powerful organizations defend themselves, and what young people learn when access and ambition are treated as central educational assets. The result is an investigative portrait of elite higher education under pressure from its own incentives.
