Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal
Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal | Ben Mezrich
5 posts | 18 read | 4 to read
NATIONAL BESTSELLER The Social Network, the much anticipated movie adapted from Ben Mezrich s book The Accidental Billionaires. The New York Times Best friends Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg had spent many lonely nights looking for a way to stand out among Harvard University s elite, competitive, and accomplished student body. Then, in 2003, Zuckerberg hacked into Harvard s computers, crashed the campus network, almost got himself expelled, and was inspired to create Facebook, the social networking site that has since revolutionized communication around the world. With Saverin s funding their tiny start-up went from dorm room to Silicon Valley. But conflicting ideas about Facebook s future transformed the friends into enemies. Soon, the undergraduate exuberance that marked their collaboration turned into out-and-out warfare as it fell prey to the adult world of venture capitalists, big money, and lawyers."

You know who got to 500 million friends without making a few enemies? Tom.

I listened to about an hour of this audiobook and decided to bail. I just didn't like the writing. I also felt a little leary about the accuracy of the story that was being told.

#FunFridayPhoto I LOVE Ben Mezrich's Non Fiction writing! This one about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of FaceBook is immensely engaging and entertaining. A highly addictive read...

A while back someone remade a bunch of movie posters with the real book titles they were adapted from. Happy to see one of mine made the cut! :)
