Just Joined BTP? Here’s Your First Book Club Invite! 🎉
Join Us Tuesday, July 29 for Careless People
Hi, and welcome to Book Therapy Project! For all the new folks who just joined us this week as a result of this article in W42ndSt, we’re so glad to have you here! Read on for a short note about our next meeting.
Our next book club gathering is just a few days away – and you won’t want to miss this one.
We’re discussing Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams – a sharp, personal, and eye-opening look inside the world of Facebook and the people who built it. If you’ve ever wondered how we got here with social media, this book is the deep dive you’ve been waiting for.
📚 Book: Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed and Lost Idealism
📅 Date: Tuesday, July 29
🕕 Time: 6–9 PM
📍 Location: Hell’s Kitchen (details upon RSVP)
✅ RSVP now: https://lu.ma/ylzenar4
This will be a lively and honest discussion about power, tech, and what happens when responsibility doesn’t keep up with reach. Whether you’re halfway through the book or just curious to listen in, you are absolutely welcome.
What’s the book about?
“Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction when he learned of Facebook’s role in Trump’s election... Careless People is a deeply personal, sharp, and unflinching account of how the leaders of Facebook grabbed more power—and took less responsibility—with consequences that affect all of us.”
More to explore:
We’re taking August off (and reading saucy novels instead of non-fiction heh), so this is the last BTP until September. Join us Tuesday for a fun convo before we go offline for a bit!
