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.

Stories that the author seems to think are hilarious, like crashing events, getting stuck in military dictatorships, etc. -- well, they just aren't. They're terrifying. The seeming simplicity with which she was able to drag Facebook into the global stage.

All while taking ZERO blame.

This would be better named "Diary of a Collaborator"

Sarah Wynn-Williams thinks she's the heroine in the story, but she's not. She's part of the reason we're where we are now with social media, and she doesn't see it.
