The Social Network may be reasonably accurate but it doesn’t portray a culture. It’s the story of a handful of people scrambling to make money from an unexpected success, and a single-minded antisocial programmer who falls backwards into vast wealth and power. The personality traits depicted and maybe exaggerated in the movie may be common but they don’t form a culture — rather they are formed by a culture of predatory capitalism and legal maneuvering. American Psycho is the same story as satire, with more knives and less PHP.
