βThe Social Network, the much anticipated movieβ¦adapted from Ben Mezrichβs book The Accidental Billionaires.β βThe New York Times
Best friends Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg had spent many lonely nights looking for a way to stand out among Harvard Universityβs elite, comptetitive, and accomplished student body. Then, in 2003, Zuckerberg hacked into Harvardβs 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 Saverinβs funding their tiny start-up went from dorm room to Silicon Valley. But conflicting ideas about Facebookβs 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.
