In case you’ve been in a cave for the last six months, the Social Network is a somewhat fictionalized account of the early days of Facebook, as told in the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. The film characterizes Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as a great innovator who, despite a nagging proclivity toward egotism and elitism (both of which became cornerstones of Facebook’s staggered rollout model), created a platform that has changed many people’s lives.
