"Poignant, maddening, and genuinely hilarious, How to Rule the World is to be devoured--and fast, before Stanford buys up and sets fire to every copy. (Talk about a burn book!)" --Mark Leibovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Town

Winner of the George Polk Award for his investigation that brought down Stanford's president, Theo Baker offers a revelatory and gripping account of Silicon Valley hubris

Slush funds. Shell companies. Yacht parties. This is life for Silicon Valley's favored teenagers.

Seventeen-year-old Theo Baker showed up for freshman year at Stanford University as a tech-obsessed coder. It seemed like paradise. There were Rodin sculptures next to nuclear laboratories and inventors lounging with Olympians. But Baker soon discovered a culture that embraced corner-cutting, that vested infinite excess and access in the hands of kids with few safeguards to catch bad behavior.

Stanford, he realized, was less a school than a business. Its annual budget was nearly twice that of Harvard or Yale and higher than those of 116 countries. The product? Students. Especially those special few identified as the next trillion-dollar startup founders. For them, there were secret societies, "pre-idea" funding offers, and social calls from billionaires, all with the expectation that these geniuses would soon join the ruling elite.

At the helm of this business was Marc Tessier-Lavigne, a superstar neuroscientist and wealthy biotech executive. But when Baker joined the student newspaper and started poking around the Stanford president's record, he discovered never-reported allegations of research misconduct in studies published across two decades bearing Tessier-Lavigne's name.

Only one month into college and thousands of miles from home, Baker began receiving anonymous letters, going on stakeouts, and tracking down confidential sources. High-powered lawyers and public relations teams were hired to attack his reporting. Stanford opened an investigation into its own leader. And by the end of the year, Tessier-Lavigne was out as president.

This is the incredible journey of a reluctant teenage reporter who uncovered a story that shook the scientific world and became front-page news across the country. It is also an unprecedented inside view of the students learning to rule the world--and what they're learning from those who already do.

How to Rule the World is a shocking, hilarious, and moving debut, showcasing Silicon Valley's training ground as never before.

Perfect Flavor: NONE
Style: Unflavored (Pack of 1)
I see reviews writing "it tastes bad". Get over it you big babies! It doesn't. I have an allergy to peppermint and other unnatural man-made toxic flavorings and this is perfect! After the first few times the flavor is irrelevant and you get used to it. It cleans and cleans well. I don't wake up after brushing before going to bed with a mouth full of slimy coating on my teeth and bad aftertaste like I did with the other fake flavored toothpastes. I use Cleure for all my teeth brushing and haven't had any dental problems. The paste is smooth and I don't have irritation. It's great...I just wish the price point was a little lower since there's less added garbage in it.

Gentle, No harsh ingredients, no taste!
Style: Unflavored (Pack of 1)
This is the toothpaste you want if you want no additives or nothing. There's really no taste to it, but that's the whole idea you're getting no additives no nothing. It does have baking soda, and xylitol these are two great ingredients but overall it's very gentle. If you're having any problems with skin or anything and you feel it could be from either fluoride, mint flavoring, SLS, or coconut oil or all the other stuff they put in there give this a try! I'm on my second tube! Yes you're not going to feel as super clean as the other ones but that's because it's not stripping everything off your teeth like the other ones do it's very gentle and if there's any issues with sensitivity or anything like that this is the way to go.

Good ingredients
Style: Unflavored (Pack of 1)
The ingredients in this may appear to be boring, but for a fragrance-free, flavor free, toothpaste this one is not bad at all. It has a little bit of sweetener in it and it does a good job at leaving my mouth feeling clean and my teeth polished. I am very happy with this product and it is replacing a similar product that I was not happy with. This is a product I will reorder and continue to use as I am happy with the cleanliness and freshness.

No flavor toothpaste with a high price
Style: Unflavored (Pack of 3)
Great product at a not very great price. Maybe you came across this product while searching for unflavored or flavorless toothpaste. Well this does the trick it has no minty flavor to interfere with your morning coffee or your autism. But why does less ingredients mean a higher cost? I’m looking for something bare bones, no taste, and cheaper than the toothpaste they sell at most stores filled with chemicals! Why is this so hard to find?

Acid Reflux and LPR
Style: Unflavored (Pack of 1)
I follow a dietician for those who deal with Acid reflux and LPR. Being without flavor especially peppermint, as mentioned by the dietician, can be helpful for some. I have found this to be true with this product. It seems to have helped reduce, or at least not add to, my feeling of throat and mouth burning.
