1 New Books November 2010 Spotlight presented by The Accidental billionaires: the founding of Facebook: a tale of sex, money, genius, and betrayal By Ben Mezrich Doriot and Tanoto Libraries HC100.F33 M You may think you know the story of the Facebook phenomenon, but you haven t heard the whole story and never like this. Recreating the unbelievable rise of the world's biggest social network - not to mention the planet's youngest billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg - Ben tells a captivating story of betrayal, vast amounts of cash, and two friends who revolutionized the way humans connect to one another - only to have an enormous falling out and never speak again. Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were two geeky, socially awkward Harvard undergrads who wanted nothing more than to be cool. While Eduardo chose the more straightforward path of trying to gain acceptance into one of the school's ultra-posh, semi-secret Final Clubs, Mark used his computer skills by hacking into Harvard's computers, pulling up all the pictures of every girl on campus to create a sort of "hot-or-not" site exclusive to Harvard. Though the prank nearly got Mark kicked out of college, he and Eduardo realized that they were on to something big. Thus, the initial concept of Facebook was born; what happened next, however, was right out of a Hollywood thriller. Book review cited from: This list is also available on the Libraries homepage:
