More about the incessant drama surrounding the founders than the actual creativity that went into building the social medium, this book is definitely well-researched and thorough — albeit slightly biased — when viewed through the lens of “money, power, friendship, and betrayal” as the title suggests. Bilton offers fascinating insight, and the talk of venture capitalists, successful entrepreneurs, A-list celebrities, and deft hackers are enough to keep the book's tension at an all-time high. But I could have done without the plethora of groan-worthy metaphors and egg puns.
