Books, Manuscripts
Ben Mezrich's 2009 bestseller 'The Accidental Billionaires' is the definitive account of Facebook's founding - and the basis for the Academy Award-winning film 'The Social Network.' Two of the story's iconic characters are Harvard students Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss: identical twins, Olympic rowers, and legal foils to Mark Zuckerberg. 'Bitcoin Billionaires' is the story of the brothers' redemption and revenge in the wake of their epic legal battle with Facebook - and the first great book from the world of bitcoin. Planning to start careers as venture capitalists, the brothers quickly discover that no one will take their money for fear of alienating Zuckerberg. While nursing their wounds in Ibiza, they accidentally run into a shady character who tells them about a brand new idea: cryptocurrency.
