Former Meta executive Sarah Wynn-Williams will tell the story of her time at the technology company in a tell-all memoir.
Flatiron will publish Wynn-Williams’ Careless People next week, the press announced in a news release, calling the book “a deeply insightful and darkly humorous firsthand account of seven critical years at Meta as the company grew from viral sensation to global powerhouse and the destruction it left in its wake.”
Wynn-Williams worked as a lawyer and a diplomat for the government of New Zealand before joining Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, as its director of global public policy.
Her book, Flatiron says, “takes readers inside Meta’s board rooms, private jets, and meetings with heads of state, revealing the appetites, excesses, and priorities of executives Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, and Joel Kaplan. Wynn-Williams paints a portrait of this group as profoundly flawed, self-interested, and careless human beings, callously indifferent to the price others would pay for their own enrichment.”
Wynn-Williams claims that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg cooperated with the Chinese Communist Party, according to Flatiron, “developing bespoke censorship tools with the CCP, and making efforts to hide Meta’s cooperation with the CCP from the United States Congress.”
Careless People is slated for publication on March 11.
