Book • 2021
This book provides a deeply reported and vividly drawn portrait of how Amazon expanded exponentially since the publication of Stone's previous book, 'The Everything Store'.
It covers the invention of novel products like Alexa, the disruption of countless industries, and the significant growth of Amazon's workforce and valuation.
The book also delves into the evolution of Jeff Bezos, from a geeky technologist to a disciplined billionaire with global ambitions, and explores the trade-offs between efficiency and market dominance.
