Non-Fiction Biography
The definitive story of Amazon.com, one of the most
successful companies in the world, and of its driven,
brilliant founder, Jeff Bezos.
Amazon.com started
off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary
founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller.
He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering
limitless selection and seductive convenience at
disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate
culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been
cracked. Until now. Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access
to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family
members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall
account of life at Amazon. Compared to tech's other elite
innovators--Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg--Bezos is a private man.
But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets,
leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and
cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way
Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing.
THE
EVERYTHING STORE will be the revealing, definitive biography
of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets
on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read.
