"It began as a hopeful comedy and ended in darkness and regret." -- That is the story I am about to tell here. -- Sarah Wynn-Williams (from the book)

★"A book that feels like a bomb." -- Jonathan Haidt (Author of 'The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood and Adolescence—Because of Smartphones and Social Media—Is Putting Our Children's Mental Health at Risk') ★"Thank you for writing this. A million 'likes' for your courage." -- Yumi Toyosaki (Book Critic) ★"Truly shocking! A masterpiece of non-fiction that meticulously portrays the 'ugly truth' of one of the world's most influential companies." -- The New York Times

Sarah Wynn-Williams joined Facebook believing it would change the world for the better. However, during her seven years there, she witnessed the shocking reality of irresponsible—careless—global elites. The content was so explosive that Meta even took legal action to silence her.

We get a front-row seat to the real lives of Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.

The author uses frank language to highlight the "cost" of Silicon Valley's ambition, revealing outrageous plans hatched on private jets, the rampant sexism and double standards within the company, and the serious consequences of Facebook's pursuit of global dominance.

At the same time, under Sheryl Sandberg's encouragement to "Lean In," she depicts the suffering and humiliation of being a "working mother" in an extreme work environment.

This memoir, which relentlessly tells us how much of a huge role social media has come to play in our lives, confronts us with a harsh reality: that we are the ones who will pay the price for the world's consequences brought about by global elites who lose their sense of responsibility the more power they gain.

<Praise for the Book>

"What an irony. Zuckerberg, who talks about 'freedom of speech,' is trying to suppress a book about himself more than any other book in the world." -- Marina Hyde (Columnist)

"By frankly and bravely exposing the true, far worse than imagined, face of Facebook, this book reveals the dark side of social media as a tool for connecting people, showing its shadowy aspect of currying favor with world powers to generate vast profits, and is sure to shock. Thank you for writing this. A million 'likes' for your courage." -- Yumi Toyosaki (Book Critic)

"Astonishing... A memoir that lays everything bare." -- Financial Times

"Intense and incredibly funny. Like 'Bridget Jones's Diary,' it's the story of a woman caught up in unbelievable situations." -- The Times (UK)

"Intensely astonishing. Once you read it, you won't be able to stay silent." -- Glamour Magazine

"I started reading this as a feel-good non-fiction growth story, but before I knew it, it had become a tell-all non-fiction, revealing the darkness of tech companies, and I was trembling with anger bordering on fear. It's a terrifying and infuriating business memoir about 'careless' people whose indifference goes beyond mere 'mistakes,' and about Facebook (now Meta), which is willing to let the world move in a negative direction for profit." -- Osamu Horiuchi (Manager, MARUZEN & Junkudo Bookstore Umeda Store)

"A true-to-life record of a woman who once admired Facebook and jumped in with the dream of 'changing the world here!' The chaotic atmosphere of the workplace and the seemingly unfinished state of an organization that should be cutting-edge are vividly depicted as if happening right before your eyes. The process of a story that began with admiration gradually revealing the behind-the-scenes of the organization is very rewarding, and it's a must-read for anyone who wants to peek into the 'reality of giant IT companies.'" -- Rumi Inami (Kinokuniya Bookstore Umeda Main Store)
