As the name suggests, this book talks about the story of Google; Google is not only a search engine, but also a very successful software company that has a unique style and set of values. Created by two young graduate students, who only wanted to complete their studies and had no interest in business, this company has grown to be able to compete with the biggest software companies out there.
The book gives a lot of insight about the backgrounds and lives of both creators of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. It then goes to show how these two geniuses collaborated to build the greatest search engine, their efforts to get this engine to the public, and the emergence of Google the company, taking us through the different problems, issues, and hurdles they had to deal with during their journey. The book will address these issues from many perspectives; the political, economic, technical, and even the social.
I found this book to be one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read. It is an amazingly true story of success of an amazingly meaningful company. I do advice everybody to read this book!
