![]() ![]() ![]() I spent a year trying to get Mark to talk to me, but he refused he knew I was talking to people who had a different point of view, and he wouldn’t be able to control the narrative. I also relied on thousands of pages of court documents and depositions. It’s true that much of the book is from Eduardo’s point of view, but I also spent a lot of time with the Winklevie twins, Sean Parker, and many others who were there. The book started, for me, with a random email I received at 2 in the morning from a Harvard senior, who wrote “My best friend co-founded Facebook, and nobody’s ever heard of him.” I went out for drinks and in walked Eduardo, who began to tell me this wild story of two socially inept best friends who met in an underground jewish fraternity, wanted to meet girls, and instead created the biggest social website in the world. A: Accidental Billionaires, which was adapted into the movie “The Social Network” is, in my opinion, a very accurate retelling of the genesis of Facebook it mostly takes place over one year at Harvard, when Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin build the basis for the company we all know today. ![]()
