No Filter Sarah Frier

 Hello my fellow book lovers! In No Filter, journalist Sarah Frier delivers a masterful, behind-the-scenes chronicle of Instagram’s meteoric rise—from its artistic-focused startup origins to its global dominance under Facebook’s shadow—drawing on exclusive interviews with founders, insiders, and cultural figures. The book balances vivid storytelling with meticulous reporting, portraying not just the business maneuvers, but the human drama behind key decisions, including the eventual departure of the founders. It's reception is overwhelmingly positive: The Verge called it “meticulously reported, beautifully told.” In short, No Filter is an essential, unfiltered look at one of today’s most influential tech platforms—insightful, engaging, and rich with broader societal implications. Thanks to my employer, Instahyre, for this helpful book!

So let’s look at this year’s Oscar winners, and let me tell you that I have not watched a single nominated movie this year, because we have completely cut down our screen times. Adwitya deserves to live in the real world as much as possible before the inevitable screens that surround us occupy her brain throughout waking life. On that note, the free-form movies that play in our minds while we sleep are serious contenders for oscars. Blockbuster action, heart wrenching drama, gut busting laugh-out-loud comedy, mysterious whodunit, poignant slice-of-life...
