Description
With unprecedented access to the Googleplex, veteran technology reporter Steven Levy tells the inside story of Google, the most successful and admired company of our time. Few companies in history have ever been as successful and as admired as Google, the company that has transformed the Internet and become an indispensable part of our lives. How has Google done it? While they were still students at Stanford, founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin revolutionized Internet search. They followed this brilliant innovation with another, as two of Google’s earliest employees found a way to do what no one else had: make billions of dollars from Internet advertising.
