"Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism" by Sarah Wynn-Williams is a memoir and critical exposé by a former director of global public policy at Facebook (now Meta). Wynn-Williams offers a detailed insider’s account of Facebook’s internal culture, leadership failures, and the company's problematic entanglements with misinformation, authoritarian regimes, and alleged workplace misconduct.

The book reveals the recklessness and self-interest of some of the company's top executives, including Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, whom she depicts as embodying a careless attitude reminiscent of F. Scott Fitzgerald's characters in "The Great Gatsby." Wynn-Williams details how Facebook's rise to global power was marked by ethical compromises, censorship for business gain, and a failure to adequately address sexual harassment and human rights abuses within its ranks.
