Social Network recs post
Mar. 31st, 2011 07:42 pmWhen not working on New Novel or doing day-job work, I have basically lived and breathed Mark/Eduardo nonsense for the last month, because that's how I roll. Here are some of the stories I have loved so far!
Actual books
The Facebook Effect by David Kirkpatrick, aka The One Mark Helped With.
The second half, once Facebook becomes a proper flourishing business, is very dry and full of details of shares and stocks and more background company structure about the creation of Farmville than any sane person will ever need in the universe, goddammit. But the first half is full of ridiculous gold about a bunch of kids who were too clever and too irreverent for anyone's good.
The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich, aka The One Eduardo Helped With.
I'm not actually all the way through this one, because I can only read a few pages at a time before I have to go read fanfic instead. This is the book that The Social Network is based on. Sometimes I post pages from it to my tumblr. It's an interesting read, rather than an enjoyable one per se, for me. But I'm still including it here.
And now, the fanfiction!
Warning: some of these are works in progress! I know there are people who don't like that.
I'll include trigger warnings where appropriate.

I AM SURE I HAVE FORGOTTEN SOME OTHERS EQUALLY AWESOME I'M SORRY THIS IS WHY I NEVER MAKE RECS POSTS THERE IS TOO MUCH PRESSURE :(
