How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University by Theo Baker is a nonfiction account of the author’s freshman year at Stanford and his unexpected transition from a technology-obsessed student into an investigative journalist. At seventeen, Baker arrived at Stanford fascinated by its combination of science, technology, entrepreneurship, and Silicon Valley connections. He soon began examining the culture surrounding the university’s most privileged and ambitious students.

After joining The Stanford Daily, Baker began investigating allegations of research misconduct involving Stanford president Marc Tessier-Lavigne. His reporting involved confidential sources, document research, interviews, and extensive investigation. Stanford subsequently opened an investigation into its president, and Tessier-Lavigne eventually resigned.

Beyond the investigation, the book examines Stanford as a training ground connected to Silicon Valley’s technology and investment ecosystem, exploring the relationship between higher education, wealth, ambition, journalism, and institutional power.
