The google story!


"Fascinating...meticulous...never bogs down.An interesting read on a powerhouse company"
-dhirendra kumar singh


I got this book from a book stand in Mumbai on 19th jan '07. After going through it i found the google story the most inspiring book i have still read.It gives a brief history of the powerhouse company of today.
The book took me through the rides of ups and downs of Googleplex or say Google with Serge Brin and Larry Page.The book helps in imagining the real incidents of making of Google the biggest and the fastest growing company of our time.David A. really succeeds in his aim of writing this book.
The books tells about how a Russian origin (Larry page) and an American origin (Serge brin) after meeting in Standford as research fellows come up with concept of page ranking which changes the searchin the web or infact googling the net such a easier task.
What they did was that they took the job of searching the web as there research project and finally they converted it into firm which todays not only does innovation in field of software infact in hardware,infact they have one of the fastest and most complex supercomputer on earth which capability even the most of the countries government doesn't has.
This book really has affected me a lot form this book i really came to know that innovation has a edge on any contemporary way of working,let it how so ever old of tested by time.
