You found him a lovable, geeky nerd in The Social Network?

Perhaps fxtentacle is actually thinking of Data from ST:TNG.

Yes, I thought the Zuckerberg in the movie seemed more humane and nicer than I imagine the original to be.

For example, the movie presents him starting facemash to find a new girlfriend after he was rejected, which makes him appear to care about others and about relationships.

But some of his actual quotes sound to me more like he sees other people as things and with some contempt. For example, consider this:

ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard

ZUCK: just ask

ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns

FRIEND: what!? how’d you manage that one?

ZUCK: people just submitted it

ZUCK: i don’t know why

ZUCK: they “trust me”

ZUCK: dumb fucks
