Review of Theo Baker's 'How to Rule the World': A Critical Look at Stanford's Power Structures

Summary

A review of Theo Baker's memoir "How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University," which offers a critical and frank examination of Stanford's culture, governance, and power structures. The book, written largely during Baker's first two years as an undergraduate, portrays the university as tightly controlled and compares its environment to a labor camp designed by tech billionaires. The review discusses Baker's insider perspective as the son of journalists and his unflinching look at the intersection of elite education, Silicon Valley power, and institutional control.
