Hi everyone. We wanted to share our review of a book whose publisher kept its existence a secret until a few days ago — with good reason, it turns out.
“Careless People,” by a former Facebook executive, Sarah Wynn-Williams, portrays feckless company leaders cozying up to authoritarian regimes, our nonfiction book critic Jennifer Szalai writes.
The book “is darkly funny and genuinely shocking: an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world,” Szalai writes in her review. “What Wynn-Williams reveals will undoubtedly trigger her former bosses’ ire. Not only does she have the storytelling chops to unspool a gripping narrative; she also delivers the goods.”
