CliffHey, <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a>. Thanks for promoting the book <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarelessPeople</a>. I never would have known it existed, was about you, or the overall plot of it without you <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/StreissandEffect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StreissandEffect</a> -ing it!

Brian DearSo I went to the local Barnes & Noble and sure enough they had a display table with like 40 copies of the new CARELESS PEOPLE and as I feared the price was . . . the list price of $32.99, and with tax it came to $35.69 and I’ m thinking, is exactly why I don’t buy from bookstores. The economics simply do not work.Cashier tried hard to get me to sign up for their “rewards” program which like most corporate retail “rewards” programs, makes no economic sense.🤷‍♂️<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/carelesspeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carelesspeople</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meta</a>

FallsMom 🟦 🌻Ron Charles, WaPo book editor re: <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarelessPeople</a> "So, I called. Daniels (<a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a> PR) said, “We don’t have the book,” but the company had prepared “preliminary statements” about it. Although he didn’t share those with me, he wrote to me again on Saturday and again on Monday trying to get information about our review plans. (In my 27 years of reviewing and editing newspaper books sections, no company has ever done this with me.)"

Ray Gulick, he/him/wtf<a href="https://mastodon.social/@_elena" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@_elena</a> I'm about a third of the way into the book, and it's pretty obvious why Facebook wants to block promotion. Zuckerberg comes off as a mal-adjusted adolescent (no surprise), and Sheryl Sandberg is shown to be a randomly explosive psycho. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarelessPeople</a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/@gemlog" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gemlog</a>

KariFor anyone trying to get Careless People as an audiobook, do not buy it from Amazon since it is more likely to get deleted from your account. Use Libro.fm instead to get a DRM-Free copy <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/carelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carelessPeople</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Libro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libro</a>.fm <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a> <a href="https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781250403155-careless-people" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781250403155-careless-people</a>

KariI usually wait for my turn in the public library for these kinds of books. Considering how badly Meta wants people not to read it, I knew I had to get it before it was too late.

Elena Rossini ⁂Thanks to the magic of the Streisand effect, I just heard about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarelessPeople</a> - a book by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.Apparently the company is FREAKING OUT and seeking legal ways to stop its promotion. I can see why. This article about it in the Times made my jaw drop: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250310221013/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20250310221013/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html</a>I will definitely order it at my local bookshop.🔗: <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/careless-people-a-cautionary-tale-of-power-greed-and-lost-idealism/22213433" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bookshop.org/p/books/careless-people-a-cautionary-tale-of-power-greed-and-lost-idealism/22213433</a>Edit: included non-paywalled link (thanks <a href="https://tilde.zone/@gemlog" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gemlog</a>) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a>
