A cast that includes Facebook (or Meta), Google, and Apple, and leaders like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Elizabeth Holmes, hold a heavy place in the public consciousness. Give the gift of knowledge, inspire the tech-obsessed people in your life, and help them learn more about the companies and people who dominate industries, news cycles, and, increasingly, our lives.
