Author Description

Once hailed as a revolution in human connection, Silicon Valley's most powerful companies promised to build a better world. But behind the sleek interfaces and lofty mission statements lay a different reality-one driven by profit, power, and a troubling disregard for ethics. Careless People takes readers deep inside this world, offering a firsthand account of what happens when idealism collides with corporate ambition. Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former insider at Facebook, reveals the inner workings of a company that started with the dream of connecting the world but became entangled in controversy, deception, and unchecked influence. From the excitement of joining a tech giant to the sobering realization of its moral compromises, she unpacks the tensions between innovation and accountability, the internal struggles over misinformation and political manipulation, and the growing chasm between public promises and private actions. With unparalleled insight, Careless People explores the unchecked power of Big Tech, the ethical dilemmas faced by its employees, and the consequences of a digital landscape shaped by corporate greed. As governments and societies grapple with the fallout of this technological era, this book serves as both an exposé and a warning-an urgent call for greater transparency, responsibility, and reform in an industry that shapes the modern world.
