Careless People: A Story of Where I Used to Work : Power. Greed. Madness. (PB) - C-format

A deeply insightful and darkly humorous firsthand account of seven critical years at Meta (formerly Facebook) as the company grew from viral sensation to global powerhouse and the destruction it left in its wake. Written by former Director of Global Public Policy Sarah Wynn-Williams, Careless People details the lengths to which Meta’s leaders were willing to go to achieve growth at any cost ... 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.
