NBC News' Dylan Byers recently asked all major technology CEOs to recommend books for the summer.
Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg has recommended Graham Moore's book "The Last Days of the Night" about competition between innovators Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse.
Zuckerberg is ridiculed online for recommending the book, since it is ultimately a matter of celebrating a man who does everything in his power to maintain his monopoly, including chasing his main business rivals – what Zuckerberg himself has been criticized.

It's summer, which means it's the perfect time to take that book you've always wanted to read.
Dylan Byers of NBC News has decided to ask for the best book recommendations in Silicon Valley. He has been selected by renowned CEOs such as Apple's Tim Cook and Evan Spiegel of Snap.
Graham Moore's book "The Last Days of the Night" was among the recommendations of the book, suggested by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Of course, like most things Zuckerberg does, he has had feedback online for his book choice.

Of course, the obvious comparison that people make here is that Zuckerberg is also facing threats to his own empire, in social media. Presidential candidates, like Senator Elizabeth Warren, want to see Facebook broken. Even Chris Hughes, one of the co-founders of Facebook, believes that Facebook must be dissociated and that Zuckerberg has too much power to his post.
Facebook has been accused of using too much power and having kept its competitors at bay, either by copying their biggest features (as in the case of Snapchat), or by fully acquiring these rival companies. The most common case is where Facebook bought Instagram for $ 1 billion in 2012, but the company has bought more than 75 different small businesses in the last 15 years.
At present, the Federal Trade Commission is investigating Facebook for possible violations of antitrust laws. Facebook had just settled with the FTC a separate case related to Facebook's privacy practices, with the social network agreeing to pay a record $ 5 billion fine.
