Ben Mezrichs The Accidental Billionaires is a 2009 work of narrative nonfiction about Facebooks origins at Harvard and its transformation from a campus website into a major technology company. Centering on Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin, it presents the founding story as a collision of programming skill, social ambition, personal rivalry, investor pressure, and legal conflict. The book also follows the dispute involving Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra, whose competing Harvard social-networking project became central to later litigation. Mezrich uses a fast, scene-driven style more typical of a novel than a conventional business history. The approach makes technical and corporate developments accessible by emphasizing motives, relationships, and turning points. It also requires caution: dialogue, interior perspectives, and some scenes are reconstructed or dramatized, rather than documented verbatim. Adapted into the film The Social Network, the book remains notable less as a definitive institutional history of Facebook than as an influential, highly readable account of the human conflicts surrounding an internet-era companys birth.
