This New York Times bestseller is a âmasterfulâ (The Washington Post), âjuicy tour of the company [Jeff] Bezos builtâ (The New York Times Book Review), revealing the most important business story of our time by the bestselling author of The Everything Store.
Almost ten years ago, Bloomberg journalist Brad Stone captured the rise of Amazon in his bestseller The Everything Store. Since then, Amazon has expanded exponentially, inventing novel products like Alexa and disrupting countless industries, while its workforce has quintupled in size and its valuation has soared to nearly two trillion dollars. Itâs almost impossible to go a day without encountering the impact of Jeff Bezosâs Amazon, between services like Whole Foods, Prime Video, and Amazonâs cloud computing unit, AWS, plus Bezosâs ownership of The Washington Post. We live in a world run, supplied, and controlled by Amazon and its iconoclast founder.
In Amazon Unbound, Brad Stone presents an âexcellentâ (The New York Times), deeply reported, vividly drawn portrait of how a retail upstart became of the most powerful and feared entities in the global economy. Stone also probes the evolution of Bezos himselfâwho started as a geeky technologist totally devoted to building Amazon, but who transformed to become a fit, disciplined billionaire with global ambitions, who ruled Amazon with an iron fist, even as he found his personal life splashed over the tabloids.
Definitive, timely, and âengagingâ (Jon Meacham, author of The Soul of America), Stone has provided an unvarnished portrait of a man and company that we couldnât imagine modern life without.
