I’m really conflicted about this one—I’ve been wrestling with my thoughts for days now. On one hand, Careless People is an incredibly important book, and I genuinely believe everyone should read it—so the conversation can continue around both key issues it raises: misconduct in powerful companies and the unchecked influence of social media on our lives, communities, mental health, and future. Speaking out about workplace abuse, misogyny, and institutional failures is brave and deeply necessary. I truly applaud Sarah for sharing her story and shining a light on Facebook’s internal culture. Being a whistleblower takes serious courage. But the memoir also tries to do more—it ventures into personal reflection and commentary on Facebook’s broader role in the world. And that’s where things started to feel a little shaky for me. The sections that unpack Facebook’s practices are, again, without question, crucial. We need to talk about the vast and uncontrolled power of such companies—especially as we move further into the age of AI. If anyone still believes there’s something wholesome going on behind the curtain, this book serves as a wake-up call. What didn’t sit quite right with me, though, was the way Sarah often divides the cast into clear “bad guys” and places herself firmly in the “good” camp—without even touching the responsibility she might have had in shaping the very system she’s now critiquing. I know there are a million shades to it, and I understand the need for self-defense in how one frames their narrative when coming out. (After all, that’s why whistleblowing is an incredibly hard thing to do!) But let’s not forget: she worked at Facebook for a long time, and she was instrumental in helping the platform expand its influence in the political sphere. That’s not a side note—it’s central to her story, and at parts of the book, even recounted with a sense of pride. And yet, as the narrative unfolds, her portrayal of herself in that role feels… a little falsely naive. At the beginning, I understand the idealism—a young woman with a UN background, driven by purpose and a desire to make meaningful change. But at some point, it becomes difficult to believe that in her position, she truly didn’t understand that a profit-driven company—like all companies, by definition—prioritizes profit over the common public goods. Anyone with a basic understanding of economics knows this logic is inherent in the system. (To be clear, I’m not saying this is okay—that’s why companies need external checks and balances!) So, on one hand, being proud of her role in building that system, and then later positioning herself as morally superior after being let go… well, it feels a little controversial. I get that coming to terms with these personal contradictions takes time. I understand that it might also take distance to process what you’ve been part of—to make sense of it and build your moral narrative against your own experience and your role in it. I don’t want to downplay how terrifying it is to face losing your job, your health insurance, or your housing (even when it’s a privilage). Or how difficult it is to leave a toxic relationship (including a job) when you’re in it. In those moments, survival often takes precedence over immediate clarity. But with time and distance, I guess I just hoped for more shades in her reflection on this part. I wished for more self-awareness. The absence of it doesn’t take away from the importance of the book or from acknowledging her bravery. But it did make it hard for me to fully connect emotionally to the personal side of her story—and to the book.

John Green always writes like his family is tired of hearing about his special interest so he decided to write a book about it instead. Eye-opening and inspiring, I loved it.

Thank you, John Green, for writing this book. As I listened to this audiobook, I felt my mind, and understanding of tuberculosis, expanding. The way John Green expressed his thoughts and shared the history of “our deadly infection” was fascinating and heartbreaking. This is such an important read, and I’m honored I got to hear it.

It always makes me happy when people use their platform to raise awareness for relevant issues. John Green has brought TB back into focus and called out all the systems that have failed to eradicate the disease in an era when TB is curable. I have personally witnessed how vital research will be stopped dead in its tracks in favor of a “trending” issue. Many researchers (and sources for funding) are guilty of favoring topics that will provide the most publicity instead of necessity.
