"THE CCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES is so obviously dramatized, and so clearly unreliable, that there's no mistaking it for a serious document....Mr. Mezrich really is a vigorous storyteller in his crass, desperately cinematic way." "Mezrich forsakes the tech and business aspects of the story for a sort of Geeks Gone Wild spin, heavy on...scandal and soap opera." Publisher's noteThe bestselling author of "Bringing Down the House" pens the incredible true story of the accidental creation of Facebook, and the even more amazing tale of what followed. AnnotationBen Mezrich has found a comfortable niche in the nonfiction market with his lurid tales of brilliant young mavericks who use their preternatural intelligence to hatch morally questionable schemes which earn them ridiculous amounts of money. His latest venture documents the rise and divide of Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg, a pair of Harvard geeks who transformed their desire for female companionship into one of the most popular and profitable websites on the planet--Facebook. As Mezrich tells the tale, the initial stages of Facebook were Saverin and Zuckerberg's attempts to create a database of all the female students at Harvard, but they soon realized that the format they had created had almost limitless possibilities for allowing people to connect online. Sadly, as the popularity of the site increased exponentially and the revenue started to pour in, the once insignificant differences between the two friends became magnified and they were soon seeing each other only from opposite sides of a courtroom. Mezrich effortlessly negotiates the reader through this astonishing modern saga of technology and greed.
