Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism - Hardcover

Frances Haugen's insider account of Facebook's rise and the moral compromises that powered it. She spent years at the company's highest levels.

This is the story of how a company founded with idealism about connection became a machine optimized for engagement and growth above all else. Haugen documents what she saw: the decisions, the rationalizations, what got lost. It's a reckoning with big tech and the cost of scale.

Faculty teaching business ethics, technology policy, and media studies assign this. It's essential reading for understanding the institutions shaping contemporary life.
