Summary: Amazon made its mark sending new books quickly in nice, smile-embossed boxes. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the world's store, where everything is available to everyone, usually in 24 hours. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and drive and revolutionised retail the way Ford revolutionised manufacturing. Brad Stone has been given unprecedented access to Amazon employees, both current and former, to give readers a fly-on-the-wall narrative account of the world's largest online retailer.
