The Social Network
Harvard coding drama
The Social Network is a 2010 film directed by David Fincher about the founding of Facebook and the lawsuits that followed.
The title works on two levels—referring both to the website itself and to the web of Harvard connections that shaped its creation.
The film's sharp dialogue and portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg made it a cultural touchstone for discussions of tech entrepreneurship, intellectual property, and Silicon Valley ambition: Have you seen The Social Network?
