Rebel Book Club Oxford x SPEAKING OUT

Sarah joined Facebook as a young New Zealand diplomat who believed the platform could genuinely change the world for the better. Seven years later, having risen to Director of Global Public Policy, she had seen enough to know the truth was something else entirely. From private jets and meetings with world leaders to Facebook's response to the Rohingya genocide and Mark Zuckerberg's alleged efforts to censor content for the Chinese market, this is a sharply funny, deeply unsettling account of what it looks like when a handful of people hold the world carelessly in their hands.

Why we chose it: "Darkly funny and genuinely shocking: an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world." — Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times

Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing.

Try out the club with Eventbrite - new customers only. Ticket price includes access to the Oxford Rebel Book Club event plus a welcome drink (alcoholic + non-alcoholic options available).

Originally from Bilbao, Spain, Andie works in public relations for businesses in the renewable energy sector. In her free time, she's a voracious reader, book blogger and amateur runner. Having spent part of her 20s living in Baku and Moscow has made her drawn to Soviet history and she can't resist a good spy biography.

Andie believes that books are the answer to every question and there is no better tool to help us understand how the world and people work. She's leading RBC Oxford hoping to continue spreading the love for knowledge through a supportive and fun community that comes together for engaging conversations, growing a little with each book and discussion.

Andie's non-fiction recommendations:

1. Agent Sonya by Ben MacIntyre

2. Shoe Dog by Phil Knight

3. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
