Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg boosts book popularity
The book that seems to be getting everyone talking this year is 'The End of Power' by Moises Naim, a former Venezuelan government minister.
His book received an unexpected and stratospheric boost a few weeks ago when the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg chose it to launch his online book club.
Moises Naim told Today: "I had a book out and all of a sudden the book attracted global attention just because Mark Zuckerberg decided to read it and make it the first book of his book club."
"One knows that Facebook is a global enterprise, but it's not the same thing as experiencing it."
"Immediately my world exploded with requests."
