#1 New York Times Bestseller A 2025 best book of the year so far by The New York Times, The Economist, and more "Careless People is darkly funny and genuinely shocking...Not only does Sarah Wynn-Williams] have the storytelling chops to unspool a gripping narrative; she also delivers the goods." -Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times "When one of the world's most powerful media companies tries to snuff out a book -- amid other alarming attacks on free speech in America like this -- it's time to pull out all the stops." -Ron Charles, The Washington Post An explosive memoir charting one woman's career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them. From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite. Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg's reaction when he learned of Facebook's role in Trump's election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to "lean in." Careless People is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade--told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A deep, unflinching look at the role that social media has assumed in our lives, Careless People reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the consequences this has for all of us.

El libro que Mark Zuckerberg trat de silenciar... Y probablemente con buen criterio. Sarah Wynn Williams, una joven diplom tica neozelandesa, decidi en 2009 dar un giro a su carrera y postularse a un trabajo en Facebook, la empresa que por aquel entonces promet a cambiar el mundo... a mejor. Pero, al escalar en la jerarqu a, se dio cuenta del tremendo error cometido. Este libro, una comedia disparatada con tintes tr gicos, da cuenta de la vida en las m s altas esferas y de la mentalidad despiadada que ha gobernado las grandes empresas tecnol gicas. Escrita en forma de memorias, narra situaciones absurdas vividas por la protagonista mientras Facebook intenta expandirse alrededor del mundo: desde escenas c micas con la Gallina Caponata en las bambalinas de un festival, hasta las terribles matanzas en Myanmar provocadas por la obsesi n de Meta por crecer sin parar. Este libro es ante todo una mirada privilegiada al mundo de los tecnooligarcas y un retrato despiadado y certero de la hipocres a, insensatez y ligereza con la que se toman las grandes decisiones que condicionan la vida de miles de millones de personas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book Mark Zuckerberg tried to silence... And probably for good reason. Sarah Wynn Williams, a young New Zealand diplomat, decided in 2009 to pivot her career and apply for a job at Facebook, the company that at the time promised to change the world--for the better. But as she climbed the ranks, she realized the magnitude of her mistake. This book, a madcap comedy with tragic undertones, offers an inside look at life at the highest levels and the ruthless mindset that has governed big tech companies. Written as a memoir, it recounts absurd situations the protagonist experienced while Facebook tried to expand across the globe: from comic scenes with Big Bird backstage at a festival to the horrific massacres in Myanmar driven by Meta's obsession with relentless growth. Above all, this book is a privileged look at the world of the techno-oligarchs and a blunt, incisive portrait of the hypocrisy, foolishness, and carelessness with which major decisions are made--decisions that shape the lives of billions of people.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, nuori uusiseelantilainen diplomaatti, näki Facebookin potentiaalin ja tiesi, että se voisi tehdä maailmasta paremman paikan.

Edesvastuutonta väkeä paljastaa rajattoman vallan ja mädän työkulttuurin aikaansaaman henkilökohtaisen ja poliittisen luisun: yksityiskoneissa juonittuja villejä suunnitelmia, riski joutua vankilaan vieraassa maassa... Wynn-Williams haastaa Mark Zuckerbergin, Sheryl Sandbergin ja maailman johtajat ja paljastaa, mitä teknologiajätin kulisseissa todella tapahtuu – ja millaisia vaikutuksia sillä on meihin kaikkiin.
