About This Book
Shocking and darkly funny, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to the decisions that are shaping our world and the people who make them. Welcome to Facebook. Sarah Wynn-Williams, a young diplomat from New Zealand, pitched for her dream job. She saw Facebook's potential and knew it could change the world for the better. But, when she got there and rose to its top ranks, things turned out a little different. From wild schemes cooked up on private jets to risking prison abroad, Careless People exposes both the personal and political fallout when boundless power and a rotten culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative, Wynn-Williams rubs shoulders with Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and world leaders, revealing what really goes on among the global elite - and the consequences this has for all of us. Candid and entertaining, this is an intimate memoir set amid powerful forces. As all our lives are upended by technology and those who control it, Careless People will change how you see the world.
Reviews
"Subject: frown emoji."
"Demonstrates once and for all that Meta's social media platforms have never been neutral conveyors of information—the newsprint, as it were, not the news."
"And because Wynn-Williams is a sharp and funny writer, it's a highly enjoyable read ..."
"Darkly funny and genuinely shocking: an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world ..."
"Eye-opening ... Fizzy."
