# Careless People

Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former New Zealand diplomat, joined Facebook believing it could do real good, and went on to lead its global public policy work. Her memoir, published by Pan Books in 2026, recounts those years from inside the company, including the private jets, the summits with heads of state, and the leaders at the top, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg among them, as she saw them up close. The title borrows a phrase from Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, and the book makes its reasoning clear.

The publisher describes it as shocking and darkly funny. Because the author was close to the decisions being made, her account carries weight, and it traces how idealism can turn sour. For anyone who uses social media and has wondered who is really steering it, it is a sobering read.
