"Careless People A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism" by Sarah Wynn-Williams, which recounts the author’s experiences working in global public policy at Facebook. The book provides a behind-the-scenes look at the early 2010s at the tech giant, highlighting the power dynamics and contrasting leadership styles of founders like Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, alongside personal stories, including a shark attack and severe medical crises. The bulk of the text focuses on the political challenges and ethical compromises Facebook made while trying to expand globally with initiatives like Internet.org/Free Basics and enter the Chinese market, as well as internal issues such as sexual harassment and a culture of obedience. Ultimately, the book details the author's growing disillusionment with Facebook’s leadership and priorities, culminating in her firing after raising concerns about workplace culture and the company’s impact on global politics, particularly in regions like Myanmar.
