Brave and courageous

I bet hundreds of women could write similar stories about their time at Deathbook. Though some would have seen the signs earlier, held tight to their own humanity, and left, what Sarah had to endure is disgusting, and it needs to be heard. People also need to hear how toxic and pathetic Zuckerberg and his people are, as well as the breadth and depth of their threat to advancing Humanity.

There’s a reason that so many companies achieve such great growth in America: there’s so much greed and attention on appearances, instead of substance. Anyone who appears to have great monetary wealth is listened to and their ideas populate, because most people have the same desire to be like them and experience their level of wealth, attention and control over others.

Yet, Zuck, Musk, Trump, Altman and hundreds of others are not rich because they possess intelligence to make the world a better place; they’re rich because of their ability to manipulate others to minimise their perceived threats to themselves.

If you’re not greedy and frothing at the mouth for status and adoration yourself, you can spot a narcissist from ten miles away. Meanwhile, everybody else doesn’t notice until years later when it’s too late, because they were too busy doing all that frothing over the creator’s wealth and the promise that the shiny new thing will take all their lack away.

THIS is what the world needs to read

Sarah‘s demeanour and storytelling throughout this book are exemplary. She opens the doors to the back rooms of Meta and it’s various, uber-rich, careless people, in a methodical laying out of context and decisions made, that sadly corroborate with real world experience.

This is one of the most important books ever written and yet I fear too few of us will read it. I say read, but I listened to this and thoroughly enjoyed Sarah‘s narration.

The world needs more Sarahs and the world needs more curiosity and gumption to apply itself to such important texts as this.

I am deeply rethinking my involvement with social media, which has spanned the entirety of its existence, because I can’t think of companies like Facebook anymore without a bitter taste in my mouth as I watch the grand institutions of our world being torn down by the people its existence has facilitated.

Thank you, Sarah, this must’ve been a very hard book to write and I thank you for taking the time and showing the courage to see it through. I know you have a gag order stopping you from doing publicity about your book but many of us, many many of us, will be carrying the flame for you.

Must read!

Most of the things we already knew or suspected are confirmed by somebody who has been working in some of the top positions in Facebook.

Astonishing but not surprising

The careful tale of how good people become corrupted and drink their own cool aid.

To the suprise of no-one.

If you have been involved with tech for a long while, there are no surprises here; it's rotten to the core. A must-read.
