OVERVIEW:
Throughout the course thus far, we have read scholars, writers, and memoirs that attempted to typify a whole generation, and with the film The Social Network, as a class we have argued that David Fincher and Aaron Sorkins loosely fact-based parable encompasses our current culture. Though these forms of writing have their weaknesses because it is often reductive to condense a whole culture into a single thesis, they are nonetheless prevalent and often provide some insight into cultural shifts that are difficult to recognize as they are happening.
