Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

An explosive memoir charting one womanโ€™s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet,ย Careless Peopleย gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them.

From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite.

Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerbergโ€™s reaction when he learned of Facebookโ€™s role in Trumpโ€™s election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to โ€œlean in.โ€

Careless Peopleย is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decadeโ€•told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A deep, unflinching look at the role that social media has assumed in our lives,ย Careless Peopleย reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the consequences this has for all of us.
