Controversial Facebook Insider Account by Former Official Has Strong First-Week Sales | KQED
Briefly

Sarah Wynn-Williams' debut book, 'Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism,' quickly became a bestseller, selling 60,000 copies in its first week and reaching Amazon's top 10. The book, which alleges serious misconduct by Facebook's executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, has ignited controversy as Meta works to discredit it. Following allegations that Wynn-Williams violated a severance agreement, an arbitration ruling temporarily restricts her from promoting the book but not from its publication by Flatiron Books.
The book details disturbing behavior from Facebook executives and alleges Zuckerberg's attempts to ingratiate with Chinese officials, prompting Meta to challenge its validity.
Despite the backlash, Wynn-Williams' book has seen tremendous early success, selling 60,000 copies in the first week and making it to Amazon's top 10.
