Stunned and honored by this rave review in @nytimes.

“Baker’s first book, HOW TO RULE THE WORLD is a rigorous, self-assured, propulsive, at times terrifying portrait of a dweebocracy that ‘sets the agenda for the planet.’”

So incredible to see that @Amazon has named HOW TO RULE THE WORLD one of the best books of the year!!!

"This memoir is a stick of dynamite: explosive, shocking, and mesmerizing. A heart-pounding account...perfect for Patrick Radden Keefe and Michael Lewis fans."

Wow.

You can read about the lead independent director in my book HOW TO RULE THE WORLD.

Steve Neal is the lawyer who got Charles Keating Jr. off. He represented Elizabeth Holmes before being hired by former @Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne to try to stop my reporting on allegations of research misconduct from coming out.

Re NVIDIA's board looking into Jensen: the NVIDIA board is not an 'average' board.

- There is no Chair
- 4 members (aside from Jensen) have been on the Board for around 30 years
- The others are hugely impressive in regular terms, but it's not like Amazon or Apple where newer Board members tend to have been CEOs of big orgs themselves

ie: on paper, it looks like they'd be super supportive of Jensen.
