Careless People

A story of where I used to work

Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur (Pol/Eco), by Sylvia
In this searing expos Wynn-Williams reveals the moral recklessness and eye-popping hypocrisy of Meta, as Zuckerberg and his inner circle jet around using their ungodly fortunes to acquire more power. In Wynn-Williamss account, they not only create products which exploit the most vulnerable, but are actually proud of the fact. Wynn-Williams takes her title from The Great Gatsby, so appropriate when you know what follows: They were careless people, Tom and Daisythey smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness and let other people clean up the mess they had made. We might never be able to make Meta clear up their mess, but we owe it to ourselves to stop them making more!

'Amazing: of all the books in all the world Mr Free Speech Zuckerberg wants to ban, it’s the one about him' Marina Hyde, Guardian
'Jaw-dropping . . . A tell-all tome' Financial Times

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.
