"Poignant, maddening, and genuinely hilarious, How to Rule the World is to be devoured--and fast, before Stanford buys up and sets fire to every copy. (Talk about a burn book!)" --Mark Leibovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Town

Winner of the George Polk Award for his investigation that brought down Stanford's president, Theo Baker offers a revelatory and gripping account of Silicon Valley hubris

Slush funds. Shell companies. Yacht parties. This is life for Silicon Valley's favored teenagers.

Seventeen-year-old Theo Baker showed up for freshman year at Stanford University as a tech-obsessed coder. It seemed like paradise. There were Rodin sculptures next to nuclear laboratories and inventors lounging with Olympians. But Baker soon discovered a culture that embraced corner-cutting, that vested infinite excess and access in the hands of kids with few safeguards to catch bad behavior.

Stanford, he realized, was less a school than a business. Its annual budget was nearly twice that of Harvard or Yale and higher than those of 116 countries. The product? Students. Especially those special few identified as the next trillion-dollar startup founders. For them, there were secret societies, "pre-idea" funding offers, and social calls from billionaires, all with the expectation that these geniuses would soon join the ruling elite.

At the helm of this business was Marc Tessier-Lavigne, a superstar neuroscientist and wealthy biotech executive. But when Baker joined the student newspaper and started poking around the Stanford president's record, he discovered never-reported allegations of research misconduct in studies published across two decades bearing Tessier-Lavigne's name.

Only one month into college and thousands of miles from home, Baker began receiving anonymous letters, going on stakeouts, and tracking down confidential sources. High-powered lawyers and public relations teams were hired to attack his reporting. Stanford opened an investigation into its own leader. And by the end of the year, Tessier-Lavigne was out as president.

This is the incredible journey of a reluctant teenage reporter who uncovered a story that shook the scientific world and became front-page news across the country. It is also an unprecedented inside view of the students learning to rule the world--and what they're learning from those who already do.

How to Rule the World is a shocking, hilarious, and moving debut, showcasing Silicon Valley's training ground as never before.

Bananas from Amazon! Yes!
During a recent surprise deep freeze on the way, I tried to find bananas and couldn't find them any where and decided just to check on Amazon and there they were! Bananas! I was so happy! And they were good! I have almost gave them a 4 star instead of a 5 star because I usually like to get my bananas a little bit on the slightly still green place so they were last several day. But Amazon didn't know that. They were very fresh and a great value for the money! They were in good condition! I was so pleased! And I would not hesitate to order fruit from Amazon again. They tasted great! Fresh bananas from Amazon! Who would have thought it!

Good Bananas
I recently had the pleasure of trying some really good bananas, and they quickly became a household favorite. These bananas were top-notch in terms of taste, nutritional value, and versatility. While they may not come fully ripe, the wait is well worth it, as they are perfect to eat and enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. One of the standout features of these bananas is their nutritional value. Bananas are known for being an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. They provide a natural energy boost and are a great choice for a healthy snack or as part of a balanced meal. These really good bananas lived up to their reputation, offering a nutritious and delicious option for everyone in the family. The fact that these bananas don't come fully ripe adds to their appeal. While some may prefer to eat bananas when they are perfectly yellow, the slightly green hue of these bananas means you can enjoy them at different stages of ripeness. This allows for greater flexibility in incorporating them into various recipes and dishes. One of the best ways to enjoy these bananas is by adding them to pancakes. The natural sweetness and creamy texture of the bananas complement the fluffy pancakes perfectly. Whether mashed and mixed into the batter or sliced and placed on top, these bananas add a burst of flavor and a delightful touch to every bite. The kids absolutely loved them, and it turned breakfast into a fun and enjoyable experience. In addition to pancakes, these bananas are also perfect for making smoothies. Their creamy texture blends well with other fruits and ingredients, creating a refreshing and nutritious drink. Whether you prefer a classic banana smoothie or like to experiment with different flavor combinations, these bananas are a must-have ingredient. Another great thing about these really good bananas is how versatile they are. They can be enjoyed on their own as a quick and healthy snack, sliced and added to cereal or yogurt, or even used in baking recipes. Their natural sweetness elevates any dish they are added to, making them a go-to ingredient for a wide range of culinary creations. In conclusion, I highly recommend these really good bananas for their taste, nutritional value, and versatility. While they may require a few days of ripening, the wait is worthwhile as they become the perfect fruit to eat. Whether you're enjoying them in pancakes, smoothies, or any other way you prefer, these bananas will bring a smile to your face and provide you with a dose of essential nutrients. Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy these wonderful bananas and create memorable moments with your family.

Good bananas!
Taste great, good sized, and while just barely ripe enough to eat when they arrive, they get better and sweeter every day.
