Bookstores aren’t quite setting aside shelf space for a Facebook section yet, but there are now two books that look at history via fictional status updates.

Cool Material published a humor post in August 2010, If Historical Events Had Facebook Statuses. In addition to attracting some 3 million views, 762,000 Stumbles, 179,000 likes, and 12,000 tweets, the post also attracted the attention of publisher HarperCollins, which turned it into a book.

The History of the World According to Facebook, by Wylie Overstreet, can be ordered here, for $11.
