‘The Social Network’
"'The Social Network'...does a brilliant job dissecting the sorts of people who become stars in an information economy and a hypercompetitive, purified meritocracy."
“If the ‘The Social Network’ is bad sociology, it is very good psychology. The movie does a brilliant job dissecting the sorts of people who become stars in an information economy and a hypercompetitive, purified meritocracy. It deftly captures what many of them have and what they lack, what they long for and what they end up with.” “The Zuckerberg character is without social and moral skills. It’s not that he’s a bad person. He’s just never been house-trained. He’s been raised in a culture reticent to talk about social and moral conduct. The character becomes a global business star without getting a first-grade education in interaction.”
