How to Rule the World

How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University is a nonfiction book written by Theo Baker that provides a critical look at the culture of Stanford University from his perspective as a freshman and computer programmer in 2022. As a reporter for The Stanford Daily, a student newspaper, Baker was instrumental in the investigation and subsequent resignation of then Stanford University president Marc Tessier-Lavigne the following year. The book was published by Penguin Press in May 2026. According to the Washington Monthly, this work succeeds as an investigative report, an ethnographic study, and as a memoir. Baker took two terms off in his junior year to write this book.
