What They're Saying
Critics Review
Darkly funny and genuinely shocking: an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world. 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. * The New York Times *Devastating … Wynn-Williams is a sharp and funny writer … a highly enjoyable read — a Bridget Jones’s Diary-style tale of a young woman thrown into a series of improbable situations * The Times *Jaw-dropping … A tell-all tome * Financial Times *Amazing: of all the books in all the world Mr Free Speech Zuckerberg wants to ban, it’s the one about him – Marina Hyde, The GuardianA shocking, darkly funny and highly critical exposé * The Sunday Times *A morality tale for our times … How else to put this? – bloody hell * The Guardian *Staggering … spectacular * The Irish Times *Urgently necessary reading – Elizabeth Day, author of The Party and FriendaholicWell-written, funny, horrifying, and quite compelling. I was on the edge of my seat, turning pages as fast as I could and ended up reading the book in less than a day. I cackled. I gasped. I laughed. I cringed. I cackled some more. I cringed some more – Roxanne Gay, author of Hunger and Bad FeministWynn-Williams writes with the kind of precise fury that can only come from someone who’s been inside the beast – Jake Adelstein, journalist and author of Tokyo ViceUnbelievable and necessary … wonderfully written, propulsive, novelistic and laugh-out-loud at times – Maria Semple, bestselling author of Where’d You Go, BernadetteJaw-dropping … It’s a story that will fire you up, and make you want to fight back – GlamourA well-written bombshell – Jonathan Haidt, bestselling author of The Anxious GenerationCompulsively readable … An addictive exposé, filled with explosive allegations … Writing this book is perhaps the best thing she did to help to achieve the kind of regulation we urgently need to preserve democracy. * Times Literary Supplement *I love Careless People – Reverend Richard Coles, author of Murder Before Evensong
