Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

一部令人震撼的回憶錄，講述了一名女性高階主管在全球最具影響力公司之一的職業生涯。本書帶讀者看見Meta的運作、他們影響世界的決策，以及做出這些決策的核心人物。

　　從搭乘私人飛機來往的旅程、與各國領袖的會面，到揭露充斥性別歧視與雙重標準的內部文化，這本尖銳的回憶錄揭示了當無所約束的權力與腐敗的企業文化掌控一切時，所帶來的後果。在這部引人入勝、充滿荒謬情節的敘事中，少數人無心地將世界的命運握在手心。

　　莎拉·溫-威廉斯（Sarah Wynn-Williams）在《Careless People(暫譯：無心為善的人》講述了Meta的故事，描述這個企業與軍政府的偶遇，以及得知Facebook在川普當選中扮演的角色後，馬克·祖克柏的反應，並詳細呈現了作者本人在高壓工作環境中作為一位母親所面臨的挑戰與屈辱──與此同時，諷刺的是，身為公司高層的雪莉·桑德伯格（Sheryl Sandberg），鼓勵她及其他人「挺身而進」。

　　這是一本深刻且極具個人色彩的回憶錄，犀利、坦誠地講述了過去十年間一切是如何走向失控。本書深入探討了社群媒體在我們生活中扮演的角色，並揭示了Meta領導層的真實面貌：他們握有的權力越大，責任感越小，而這些「無心之人」做出的決定，又將對我們帶來什麼影響。(文/博客來編譯)

#1 New York Times Bestseller

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK. NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME, THE NEW YORKER, NPR, AP, THE ECONOMIST, SLATE, THE GLOBE AND MAIL, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, 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.

Sarah Wynn-Williams worked as a diplomat for New Zealand, including in Washington, DC. She joined Facebook after pitching a job and ultimately became director of global public policy. After leaving the company she has continued to work on tech policy, with a focus on artificial intelligence.
