Sarah Wynn-Williams - Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

I'm not a Facebook fan but the more I read the book the more I dislike them. The author seems well-intentioned but I the overall feeling is that she was part of the system. I know it's difficult but she followed along enabling what the Facebook leadership wanted to do.

I found that book very interesting. The author doesn't come out of it looking well. That made the book feel more credible to me, although considering that it's by and about a group of people that isn't at all trustworthy, I still take the details with a large grain of salt.

Just finished ‘On the law of speaking freely’ Adam Tomkins - an excellent survey covering the US, UK and EU. In the middle of: Adventurers, David Howarth, an account of the beginnings of the East India Company, and Witch Wood, a delightful historical novel by John Buchan set in c16th Scotland. Just started: The House of War, the struggle between Christendom and the Caliphate, Simon Mayall. All good so far!
