🎙️ Hey there, and welcome to another episode of "Revise and Resubmit" — this one’s our Weekend Book Review edition! 📚✨
I’m so glad you’re here, because today’s episode dives into a book that rattled Silicon Valley, shook up the bestseller charts, and left readers asking: What happens when tech loses its soul?
The book is "Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism" by the incredible Sarah Wynn-Williams. And trust me, this one doesn’t pull any punches. 💥
Sarah isn’t just another commentator. She’s a New Zealand lawyer, a sharp public policy expert, and more importantly, someone who spent years deep inside the halls of power at Facebook — now Meta. She worked at the intersection of technology, politics, and global responsibility. She was there when history was being made… and when ethics were quietly being shelved. 🕵️‍♀️💻🌍
"Careless People" is not just a memoir. It's a whistleblower’s diary, a deeply personal reflection, and a wake-up call. Sarah takes us inside the boardrooms, the backchannels, and even the backstabbing. From Facebook’s role in the Rohingya genocide to internal cover-ups, toxic culture, and chilling allegations about Mark Zuckerberg’s willingness to censor content for market access — this book lays it all out.
And then… Meta tried to silence her. But instead? The world listened louder. 📢🔥
By the end of March 2025, it soared to number one on the New York Times bestseller list, and Sarah was called to testify before the U.S. Senate. That’s not just a story — that’s a reckoning.
So here's what I’m asking you today…
🤔 What happens when the people shaping our digital future forget the values that made it worth building in the first place?
Massive thanks to Sarah Wynn-Williams and Macmillan for making this gripping book open access so more readers can learn the truth without a paywall. 🙏📖
