IM FEELING LUCKY (THE CONFESSIONS OF GOOGLE EMPLOEE NR. 59) 1ST ED PB B FORMAT – DOUGLAS EDWARDS

Comparing Google to an ordinary business is like comparing a rocket to a wheelbarrow. No academic analysis or bystander s account can capture it. Now Douglas Edwards, Employee Number 59, takes readers inside the Googleplex for the closest look you can get without an ID card, giving readers a chance to fully experience the potent mix of camaraderie and competition that makes up the company that changed the world. Edwards, Google s first director of marketing and brand management, describes it as it happened. From the first, pioneering steps of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company s young, idiosyncratic partners to the evolution of the company s famously nonhierarchical structure (where every employee finds a problem to tackle or a feature to create and works independently), through the physical endurance feats of the company s engineers (both on and off the roller-hockey field) to its ethos to always hire someone smarter than yourself, I m Feeling Lucky captures for the first time the unique, self-invented, culture of the world s most transformative corporation.
