- wrxd 9mo agoSarah Wynn-Williams - Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism I'm not a Facebook fan but the more I read the book the more I dislike them. The author seems well-intentioned but I the overall feeling is that she was part of the system. I know it's difficult but she followed along enabling what the Facebook leadership wanted to do.
- JohnFen 9mo agoI found that book very interesting. The author doesn't come out of it looking well. That made the book feel more credible to me, although considering that it's by and about a group of people that isn't at all trustworthy, I still take the details with a large grain of salt.
