10k Book Club: Careless People ft. Josh Boerman
Added 2025-05-06 12:03:42 +0000 UTCFriend of the show Josh Boerman returns to the show to talk about “CARELESS PEOPLE: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism” by former Meta staffer Sarah Wynn-Williams.
We talk about the controversy surrounding the memoir, the pretense that nobody at Facebook knew what they had created, and how the platform’s ambitions to become the entire internet was undermined by the its inability to create any other product, or understand what people wanted.
We also talk about Zuckerberg’s innate weirdness, which culminates in an awkward attempt to get President Xi to name his child, for some reason.
