Because values are something you live, and if you write a book about values which you don't appear to practice, well, you kinda come across as selling horseshit. You know, that whole "actions speak louder than words" thing. I don't really know much about McNamee so please inform me if he's spent his facebook wealth on something to counter the dystopia that he invested in. I might buy his book if you compare him to someone like Bill Gates, who also was a ruthless monopolist who created a dystopia of talking paperclips but now when he talks about the existential threat of climate change or various humanitarian issues, you know that he's pledged most of his fortune to fund people working on those things. That's a case when you should buy the horseshit because you can see the horse is at least shitting what he purports to believe.
