About This Book
Inside the Hottest Business, Media, and Technology Success of Our
Time
"Here is the story behind one of the most remarkable Internet successes
of our time. Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to
Google, the book takes you inside the creation and growth of a company
whose name is a favorite brand and a standard verb recognized around the
world. Its stock is worth more than General Motors� and Ford’s combined,
its staff eats for free in a dining room that used to be run by the
Grateful Dead’s former chef, and its employees traverse the firm’s
colorful Silicon Valley campus on scooters and inline skates.
The Google Story is the definitive account of the populist media company
powered by the world’s most advanced technology that in a few short
years has revolutionized access to information about everything for
everybody everywhere.
In 1998, Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out
of graduate school at Stanford University to, in their own words,
“change the world� through a search engine that would organize every bit
of information on the Web for free.
While the company has done exactly that in more than one hundred
languages, Google’s quest continues as it seeks to add millions of
library books, television broadcasts, and more to its searchable
database.
Readers will learn about the amazing business acumen and computer
wizardry that started the company on its astonishing course; the secret
network of computers delivering lightning-fast search results; the
unorthodox approach that has enabled it to challenge Microsoft’s
dominance and shake up Wall Street. Even as it rides high, Google
wrestles with difficult choices that will enable it to continue
expanding while sustaining the guiding vision of its founders� mantra:
DO NO EVIL."
