Tech billionaires are so deep in their own reality-distortion fields that their perception of the world can get dangerously warped. That’s the conclusion I drew from reading Sarah Wynn-Williams’ astonishing memoir about her time running global policy at Meta Platforms Inc. The company has sought to block its publication, offering a case study in the Streisand effect and vaulting Careless People to the top of the charts on Amazon.com Inc.
The book chimed with what I previously heard from former Meta executives about the company’s hypocrisy, its obsessive drive for growth and Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg’s fixation on developing a fanbase.
