Sarah Wynn Williams' Careless People is a captivating exploration of her tumultuous tenure at Facebook/Meta, delivered through the lens of an unreliable yet compelling narrator. Williams' idealism and unyielding drive to "heal the world" radiate through the narrative, illuminating the darker corners of her experience. Her account vividly traces the rise of social media as a formidable force in global political spheres, offering a fresh perspective on its far-reaching influence.
Particularly striking are Williams' subjective yet insightful depictions of navigating Facebook/Meta as a non-technical leader. She deftly unpacks the internal dynamics, highlighting the tensions between engineering teams and the broader organization. While the one-sided nature of her perspective occasionally skews the narrative, the authenticity of her voice and the clarity of her reflections make Careless People a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, power, and human ambition. 5/5 Stars.
