Thanks to the magic of the Streisand effect, I just heard about #CarelessPeople - a book by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Apparently the company is FREAKING OUT and seeking legal ways to stop its promotion. I can see why. This article about it in the Times made my jaw drop: https://web.archive.org/web/20250310221013/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html

I will definitely order it at my local bookshop.

@_elenaElena Rossini ⁂ @gemlogKermode Don’t forget you can also use Libby to request it at your library. I had to do a “Deep Search” on the title to turn it up, but there’s already over 100 folks queued up and this kind of demand tells libraries to get more copies.
