by Sarah Wynn-Williams
An Unflinching Exposé on the Inner Workings of the World's Most Powerful Social Network
📱 UNCHECKED POWER & CORPORATE CULTURE
A gripping, darkly funny tell-all that reveals the personal and political fallout when boundless technological dominance meets a rotten culture.
Extended Synopsis
In Careless People, former New Zealand diplomat Sarah Wynn-Williams delivers a jaw-dropping insider's account of her time in the upper echelons of Facebook. Initially pitching for her dream job with the belief that the platform could genuinely change the world for the better, Wynn-Williams quickly discovered a reality far removed from the company's idealistic public mission. As she rose through the ranks, she found herself navigating a landscape of wild schemes, private jets, and high-stakes international political gambles.
[Image illustrating the massive scale of Facebook's global user base compared to national populations]Rubbing shoulders with figures like Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, and various world leaders, Wynn-Williams paints an intimate, devastating, and often absurd portrait of the global elite. The narrative exposes what happens behind closed doors when a company wields unprecedented influence over global communication without the necessary ethical guardrails. Described as a "Bridget Jones's Diary-style tale" but with world-altering stakes, this memoir forces readers to re-examine the technology that upends their daily lives and the careless people who control it.
