No Filter: The Inside Story of Instagram

Winner of the 2020 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award * Named Best Book of the Year by Fortune The Financial Times The Economist Inc. Magazine and NPR In this sequel to The Social Network (The New York Times) award-winning reporter Sarah Frier reveals the never-before-told story of how Instagram became the most culturally defining app of the decade.The most enrapturing book about Silicon Valley drama since Hatching Twitter (Fortune) No Filter pairs phenomenal in-depth reporting with explosive storytelling that gets to the heart of how Instagram has shaped our lives whether you use the app or not (The New York Times). In 2010 Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger released a photo-sharing app called Instagram with one simple but irresistible feature: it would make anything you captured look more beautiful. The cofounders cultivated a community of photographers and artisans around the app and it quickly went mainstream. In less than two years it caught Facebooks attention: Mark Zuckerberg bought the company for a historic $1 billion when Instagram had only thirteen employees. That might have been the end of a classic success story. But the cofounders stayed on trying to maintain Instagrams beauty brand and cachet considering their app a separate company within the social networking giant. They urged their employees to make changes only when necessary resisting Facebooks grow-at-all-costs philosophy in favor of a strategy that highlighted creativity and celebrity. Just as Instagram was about to reach a billion users Facebooks CEO Mark Zuckerbergonce supportive of the founders autonomybegan to feel threatened by Instagrams success. Frier draws on unprecedented accessfrom the founders of Instagram as well as employees executives and competitors; Anna Wintour of Vogue; Kris Jenner of the Kardashian-Jenner empire; and a plethora of influencers worldwideto show how Instagram has fundamentally changed the way we show eat travel and communicate all while fighting to preserve the values which contributed to the companys success. Deeply reported and beautifully written (Nick Bilton Vanity Fair) No Filter examines how Instagrams dominance acts as a lens into our society today highlighting our fraught relationship with technology our desire for perfection and the battle within tech for its most valuable commodity: our attention.
