About this listen
Shocking and darkly funny, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to the decisions that are shaping our world and the people who make them. Welcome to Facebook.
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.

To the suprise of no-one.
If you have been involved with tech for a long while, there are no surprises here; it's rotten to the core. A must-read.

I’m sorry you’ve been blocked from talking about your book Sarah - everyone with a FB account should read this.

Terrifying, riveting and a must listen
Loved it so much I went and bought the physical book. Also considering a career change so I don’t need to rely on meta as much!

THIS is what the world needs to read
Sarah‘s demeanour and storytelling throughout this book are exemplary. She opens the doors to the back rooms of Meta and it’s various, uber-rich, careless people, in a methodical laying out of context and decisions made, that sadly corroborate with real world experience.
This is one of the most important books ever written and yet I fear too few of us will read it. I say read, but I listened to this and thoroughly enjoyed Sarah‘s narration.
The world needs more Sarahs and the world needs more curiosity and gumption to apply itself to such important texts as this.
I am deeply rethinking my involvement with social media, which has spanned the entirety of its existence, because I can’t think of companies like Facebook anymore without a bitter taste in my mouth as I watch the grand institutions of our world being torn down by the people its existence has facilitated.
Thank you, Sarah, this must’ve been a very hard book to write and I thank you for taking the time and showing the courage to see it through. I know you have a gag order stopping you from doing publicity about your book but many of us, many many of us, will be carrying the flame for you.

Must read!
Most of the things we already knew or suspected are confirmed by somebody who has been working in some of the top positions in Facebook.

Astonishing but not surprising
The careful tale of how good people become corrupted and drink their own cool aid.
