How to Rule the World is a nonfiction book published by Penguin Press in May 2026. Written by Theo Baker, it tells the story of Stanford University's culture through the eyes of a freshman computer programmer in 2022. The author also served as a reporter for The Stanford Daily, where he played a key role in uncovering issues leading to then president Marc Tessier-Lavigne's resignation. This work was recognized by the Washington Monthly as an investigative report, an ethnographic study, and a memoir. Baker took two terms off during his junior year to complete the book.
