A Candid Conversation with Aaron Sorkin

The way we view complex, occasionally sinister, culture-defining institutions is largely shaped by one man: Aaron Sorkin. A Few Good Men (the military), The American President and The West Wing (the White House), and The Newsroom (TV news) are all products of Sorkin’s keyboard. Since the late eighties, he’s written eleven movies, four TV series, and four Broadway plays and directed four movies. And yet, a century from now, his legacy will be defined by his depiction of one institution in particular: Facebook.
