The Accidental Billionaires
By Ben Mezrich


The Accidental Billionaires is the story of Facebook... well, everyone's story but Mark Zuckerburg's. It's subtitled as "A Story of Sex, Lies, Money, and Betrayel," and that's exactly what it is. It was a good story, but unfortunately without the input of the most important person in Facebook. It's basically the story from the point of view of his college buddies that he screwed out of billions of dollars. While that may very well be true, I don't entirely believe it because well... some people will say anything for a buck. Still, it's interesting to read about how a college dorm room project became one of the biggest things ever. However, I'm more looking forward to the upcoming "Facebook Project," which is the story as Zuckerberg remembers it. It will be interesting to compare the two supposed "true stories."
