“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, comptetitive, 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, lawyers.
