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.

This is a must read for all. The awareness Sarah brings to the issues and impacts society faces due to technological advances and social media is incredible. And the carelessness and lack of dignity of those shaping our future, mind blowing! Hopefully after reading this book we all think and act differently, ask the questions, demand more.
Thank you Sarah for opening my eyes

We all need to realise tech moguls are the real villains. Stop leaning in and start running away.

When a shark attack is the least of your worries.
