In Careless People, Sarah Wynn-Williams delivers a fearless exposé of Meta’s inner workings — a company she once believed in but now dissects with brutal clarity. This is not just a memoir; it’s a wake-up call about unchecked tech power.
She exposes a toxic workplace culture where ethical dissent is crushed and growth is god. Whether it’s Myanmar, misinformation, or political manipulation, Meta often knew the risks — and chose silence.
Zuckerberg is portrayed as an unyielding central authority, and Sandberg as a polished public face unwilling to confront uncomfortable truths. The leadership, she suggests, chose profits over people — repeatedly.
But what gives this book its power is Wynn-Williams' own conflict — the heartbreak of someone who once believed the mission could serve the world. It’s brave, damning, and deeply human.
Verdict: A bold 4 out of 5 stars. A must-read for anyone navigating the digital age.
