The Accidental Billionaires(196-255)

Summary
Although Sean Parker came along late in the whole concept of Facebook, once he came, he really changed things up. Parker was able to presuade and manuver Zuckerberg into meeting with all of these fancy business people and making a business out of Facebook that Zuckerberg did not want. Not only that, but slowly but surely Eduardo Saverin was being pushed out of the equation. Everything comes to an end when Eduarado realizes that papers that Parker and Zuckerberg had him sign were actaully papers that were giving up his 34.4 percent share of Facebook. Now, most of the shares were divided between Zuckerberg, Parker, and the two interns and Edurado was being diluted out of the company. While Saverin was being diluted, Facebook was getting bigger and better, new applications were being added and more and more people were joining each and everyday. Saverin feels as if he was betrayed and decides to file a lawsuit over Facebook, and the relationship that was shared between him and Zuckerberg will never be the same.

Quote
"Mark had betrayed him, destroyed him, taking it all away. It was all right there, in the papers in his hands, as clear as the pitch-black letters imprinted on those ivory-white pages" (Mezrich 228).

Reaction
The ending to this book is not how I would have ever expected. Before I read this book, I knew nothing about Facebook and how it was found, but I would have never imagined that there would be so much betrayal and decit behind it. The way that Mezrich was able to capture this story is simply magnificent, from all sorts of points of views and all sorts of reactions. Mezrich was also able to add a lot of comedy to this book as well. I think that in the book Mezrich sums up the whole sitaution phenomenally, when he says how he finds it ironic how Facebook is a website that is meant to bring people together, and it drove two close friends apart. The denoument of this book really just summed up the whole situation, and allowed to see what was going on with everyone that was involved.
