當年大戰扎克伯格的天才雙胞胎怎樣了?
|
2009年出版的《偶然的億萬富豪》(The Accidental Billionaires)曾被改編成電影《社交網絡》。讀過原著或看過電影的人可能都覺得,泰勒和卡梅隆·文克萊沃斯兄弟在Facebook發展歷程的影響被忽略了,著墨很少。現在,該書作者本·莫茲里奇推出了新書《比特幣億萬富翁:一個有關天才、背叛和救贖的真實故事》(Bitcoin Billionaires: A True Story of Genius, Betrayal, and Redemption)(Flatiron Books出版),這次富有創業精神的兩兄弟終于當上主角,書中介紹了兩人與Facebook創始人馬克·扎克伯格法庭大戰之后的生活與工作。近幾年隨著比特幣的價格大起大落,加密數字貨幣粉絲對這兩位創立的數字貨幣基金應該已經很熟悉。莫茲里奇對兩兄弟過去十年經歷的描寫引人入勝,開卷就讓人欲罷不能,沒準好萊塢也會將兩人的故事搬上大銀幕。(財富中文網) 本文刊發于2019年5月1日期《財富》雜志,標題為《扎克伯格之后:文克萊沃斯兄弟新的人生篇章》(After Zuck: The Winklevii’s Next Chapter)。 譯者:Pessy 審校:夏林 |
Readers of 2009’s The Accidental Billionaires (and viewers of the film adaptation, The Social Network) might have thought that Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss got short shrift—both in what happened at Facebook and in having a smaller slice of the narrative. Now author Ben Mezrich is back to give the entrepreneurial twins the lead roles in a new book, Bitcoin Billionaires: A True Story of Genius, Betrayal, and Redemption (Flatiron Books), tracing their lives and work since the late-aughts’ legal battle with Mark Zuckerberg. Cryptocurrency followers should already be familiar with the pair’s digital currency fund as Bitcoin has blown up and gone haywire in recent years. But Mezrich’s account of their past decade is gripping from the opening pages, potentially setting the twins up for yet another portrayal by Hollywood. A version of this article appears in the May 2019 issue of Fortune with the headline “After Zuck: The Winklevii’s Next Chapter.” |
