Was The Social Network a Warning We All Ignored?

Turns out the world's biggest social network started with a bruised male ego, a whole lot of Harvard nerds, and absolutely terrible people skills. This week on Put Your Books Down, Natalie Sanderson Jones and Angela Bingham revisit David Fincher's 2010 masterpiece, The Social Network, and ask whether this movie was actually warning us about the future of Facebook. From Jesse Eisenberg's chilling portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg to Andrew Garfield's heartbreaking performance as Eduardo Saverin, the ladies break down the betrayals, lawsuits, billionaire egos, and Justin Timberlake's perfectly obnoxious Sean Parker. They also revisit the glory days of Myspace, Facebook pokes, and desperately checking Instagram likes. Plus, Trent Reznor's incredible soundtrack, Armie Hammer's Winklevoss twins, and the question nobody can escape: Has social media made us more connected or just more ridiculous? Grab your hoodie, throw on a blazer, and prepare to judge some tech bros. 👉 Subscribe to Put Your Books Down 👉 Watch the full episode on YouTube 👉 Follow us on social @putyourbooksdown 👉 Check out our website here: https://putyourbooksdown.com Watch the show on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb18ywHqVOG_d2BKfy_-XS3MaDi6dz6s7 Follow Put Your Books Down on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/putyourbooksdown Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/putyourbooksdown/ Natalie on IG: https://www.instagram.com/nataliecsandersonjones/ Angela on IG: https://www.instagram.com/angelabinghamofficial/ Angela's Website: https://angelabingham.net/ Podcast produced by http://clantoncreative.com
