The latest in a sequence of lists of recently-read books, listed in reverse chronological order.
- Kate Conger [2024]: Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter. Penguin.
- Sarah Wynn-Williams [2025]: Careless People: A story of where I used to work. Power. Greed. Madness. Macmillan. This is a mostly riveting account of the author’s time working in a public policy role for Facebook/Meta. The company has denounced the many accusations of atrocious behaviours as out-of-date, which they don’t seem to have realized is not a rebuttal. Having myself worked with senior executives of major American companies, the allegations of US-centredness and gross ignorance of other countries and cultures, are all, sadly, very familiar.
