The New York Times bestseller and inspiration for the Oscar-winning
movie, The Social Network Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg - an
awkward maths prodigy and a painfully shy computer genius - were
never going to fit in at elite, polished Harvard. Yet that all
changed when master-hacker Mark crashed the university's entire
computer system by creating a rateable database of female students.
Narrowly escaping expulsion, the two misfits refocused the site
into something less controversial - 'The Facebook' - and watched as
it spread like wildfire across campuses around the country, and
their popularity exploded in the process. Yet amidst the dizzying
levels of cash and glamour, as Silicon Valley, venture capitalists
and reams of girls beckoned, the first cracks in their friendship
started to appear. And what began as a simple argument spiralled
into an out-and-out war. As Facebook rose to stratospheric heights
by bringing people together - its very success tore two best
friends apart.
A Guide to Screenwriting Success, Second Edition provides a
comprehensive overview of writing-and rewriting-a screenplay or
teleplay and writing for digital content. Duncan's handy book
teaches new screenwriters the process of creating a professional
screenplay from beginning to end. It shows that inspiration,
creativity, and good writing are not elusive concepts but
attainable goals that any motivated person can aspire to. Duncan
includes sections on all aspects of screenwriting-from character
development to story templates-and breaks down the three acts of a
screenplay into manageable pieces. A Guide to Screenwriting Success
contains dozens of exercises to help writers through these steps.
The second half of Duncan's practical book covers another, often
overlooked, side of screenwriting-the teleplay. Aspiring writers
who also want to try their hand at writing for television will need
to learn the specifics of the field. The book breaks down this area
into two parts, the one-hour teleplay and the situation comedy.
There is a section on writing and producing digital content that
embraces the "Do It Yourself" attitude to approaching a career in
the entertainment industry. Success in screenwriting is no longer a
dream but an achievable goal for those who pick up Duncan's guide.

In "Ecstasy Unlimited", Laura Kipnis provides a collection of
essays on popular culture, politics, aesthetics, feminism, and
postmodernism, along with complete scripts from three of her
videotapes. These essays, written from her perspective as a
practising artist, in tandem with her videoscripts, are singular in
bringing a wide range of theoretical sophistication to film and
video studies. Kipnis challenges political and aesthetic
orthodoxies. Her interpretations take risks at a number of levels,
and do not easily fit into established disciplines and categories.
Extensively illustrated with stills from her videotapes, "Ecstasy
Unlimited" examines everyday life and popular culture produced by
consumer capitalism in ironic - and, at times, very funny - ways.
Laura Kipnis is a video artist and theorist whose work has been
shown widely in the United States and Europe. Her latest video
production is "Marx: the Video". She has written extensively on the
politics and aesthetics of postmodernism, feminism, and popular
culture. This book is intended for students and academics of media
studies, cultural politics.
