Careless People

A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism.

An explosive memoir offering an insider’s view of Facebook, its extraordinary rise, and the people and decisions that helped shape the modern world.

Sarah Wynn-Williams takes readers behind the scenes of one of the world’s most powerful companies, from encounters with world leaders and private-jet travel to shocking accounts of misogyny, double standards, and the pressures of working motherhood. She recounts Facebook’s evolution from its early dealings with governments and global power brokers to Mark Zuckerberg’s response to the company’s role in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Sharp, candid, and often darkly funny, Careless People explores what happens when immense power meets a deeply flawed corporate culture. It is both a personal story and an unflinching examination of social media’s growing influence, asking what happens when those with the most power become the least accountable—and what the consequences mean for the rest of us.
