Join the 92nd Y On-Demand program of 21-year-old investigative reporter Theo Baker, the youngest-ever recipient of the prestigious George Polk Award & a Stanford University senior graduating this June, for a conversation with DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin about greed in Silicon Valley & Baker’s book, How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University.
• 17-year-old Theo Baker showed up for freshman year at Stanford University as a tech-obsessed coder. Baker soon discovered a culture that embraced corner-cutting, that vested infinite excess in the hands of kids with few safeguards to catch bad behavior. His subsequent reporting ultimately forced Stanford’s then-president Marc Tessier-Lavigne to resign. How to Rule the World — already in development to become a major film project with Warner Bros. — is the poignant and hilarious journey of a teenage reporter who uncovered a story that became front-page news across the country.
