A former Facebook employee charts the company’s rise, exposing its culture of greed and ethical failure.
“jaw-dropping . . . A tell-all tome” —Financial Times.
“darkly funny and genuinely shocking” —The New York Times.
From the publisher: An insider’s account of one of the most powerful companies in the world, Careless People pulls back the curtain on Facebook’s transformation from an idealistic tech startup into a global force driven by profit, influence, and unchecked ambition. Drawing on her firsthand experience inside the company, Sarah Wynn-Williams chronicles the decisions, personalities, and internal dynamics that shaped Facebook’s rise—and the ethical compromises that followed. With clarity, wit, and moral urgency, the book examines how lofty ideals collided with corporate incentives, revealing how power concentrated, accountability eroded, and the social consequences of the platform were repeatedly ignored. Careless People is both a personal reckoning and a broader warning about what happens when technological optimism gives way to greed.
