Description
Based on unprecedented access he received to the highly secretive “Googleplex,” acclaimed New York Times columnist Randall Stross takes readers deep inside Google, the most important, most innovative, and most ambitious company of the Internet Age. Stross’s access to those who have spearheaded so many of Google’s new initiatives, his penetrating research into the company’s strategy, and his gift for lively storytelling produce an entertaining, deeply informed, and provocative examination of the company’s audacious vision for the future and the consequences not only for the business world, but for our culture at large.

Notes
- Based on unprecedented access he received to the highly secretive "Googleplex," acclaimed New York Times columnist Randall Stross takes readers deep inside Google, the most important, most innovative, and most ambitious company of the Internet Age. His revelations demystify the strategy behind the company’s recent flurry of bold moves, all driven by the pursuit of a business plan unlike any other: to become the indispensable gatekeeper of all the world’s information, the one-stop destination for all our information needs. Will Google succeed? And what are the implications of a single company commanding so much information and knowing so much about us?–From publisher description
