    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Before Frances Haugen released her 2023 memoir The Power of One, detailing her experience blowing the whistle on Facebook and its failures to protect users from its harmful algorithms, she got a call from Aaron Sorkin. The Social Network director was starting to think about doing another project exploring social media and wanted to pick her brain. “My immediate question was, how do you crystallize the amount of information that is going into a 400-page, very dense, book until it’s interesting en

    Why Liane Moriarty Broke Her Own Rules and Wrote a Sequel to ‘Big Little Lies’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Liane Moriarty never planned to write a sequel to Big Little Lies. Part of it is just principle. Early on in her relationship with Hello Sunshine, which produces the HBO adaptation, she got a message from founder Reese Witherspoon asking if there was any possibility of a new book in the BLL universe, and even that didn’t sway the prolific author. “I was very adamant that I am not like the Game of Thrones guy,” she says. “I was already writing my next book, and I’m not the sequel person.” But the
