       | someone like Zuckerberg: an individual who has accumulated and
       | exercises immense power but who, like Moses, has little
       | accountability.

         | Definitely recommend the audiobook if you haven't heard it
         | already. Caro's got a thick Brooklyn accent and a manner of
         | speaking that's really compelling.

           | YouTube e.g.
