About this listen
Meta wants to silence her voice. You can hear her words.
'Devastating . . . funny . . . highly enjoyable . . . A Bridget Jones’s Diary-style tale of a young woman thrown into a series of improbable situations' The Times
'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.
'Darkly funny and genuinely shocking: an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful
companies in the world' The New York Times

Sarah Wynn-Williams personal story connects lots of things you know of or had heard were happening with Facebook and how it operates but haven’t been laid out so clearly in one place before. It takes someone on the inside to really lay it out in this way and see the evolution, the motivation and the ‘values’ that are really driving things.
Reminded me a lot of Tyler Hamilton’s personal telling of doping in cycling which connected lots of things you already knew and were in the public domain but hadn’t been shared so clearly by an insider.
You will also hear a lot of the talking points of the second Trump administration in this book - not surprising given the Silicon Valley connections.
