The definitive, bestselling account of the company that changed the way we work and live, updated for the twentieth anniversary of Google€s founding with analysis of its most recent bold moves to redefine the world€"and its even more ambitious plans for the future.
Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University to, as they said, €œchange the world€ through a powerful search engine that would organize every bit of information on the Web for free. The Google Story takes you deep inside the company€s wild ride from an idea that struggled for funding in 1998 to a firm that today rakes in billions in profits. Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to Google, this fast-moving narrative reveals how an unorthodox management style and a culture of innovation enabled a search-engine giant to shake up Madison Avenue, clash with governments that accuse it of being a monopoly, deploy self-driving cars to forever change how we travel, and launch high-flying Internet balloons. Unafraid of controversy, Google is surging ahead with artificial intelligence that could cure diseases but also displace millions of people from their jobs, testing the founders€ guiding mantra: DON€T BE EVIL.
