Bloody hell' - The Guardian 'Devastating . . . Funny . . . Highly enjoyable' - The Times 'Jaw-dropping . . . A tell-all tome' - Financial Times Sarah Wynn-Williams joined Facebook believing the company could change things for the better. Instead, what she encountered over seven years was so shocking that Meta obtained a legal order to silence her. Now you can read her story. Candid and entertaining, Wynn-Williams' account pulls back the curtain on Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and the global elite.
