Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams
I recently finished listening to Careless People, by Sarah Wynn-Williams.
The book is a memoir by a former director of public policy at Facebook, chronicling her experience with the company. We see how her initial optimism for how Facebook could benefit the world fades as she watches the company, and the people in charge of it, create chaos in the wake of a careless pursuit of more users, more money and more power.
It was an interesting read, though I found myself constantly asking why she stayed with the company for so long despite everything she was witnessing and dealing with. I don't have too many extended thoughts on the book, and would recommend this review by Charlie Warzel with the Atlantic for more.
I'm glad I'm fully off their platforms.
Overall: 50
