The definitive story of Amazon.com, one of the most successful companies in the world, and of its driven, brilliant founder, Jeff Bezos.Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now. Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon. Compared to tech's other elite innovators -- Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg -- Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing.The Everything Store will be the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read.

Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger’s car, or walking into a stranger’s home, would have seemed bizarre and dangerous, but today it’s as common as ordering a book online. Uber and Airbnb are household names: redefining neighbourhoods, challenging the way governments regulate business and changing the way we travel.In the spirit of iconic Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, a new generation of entrepreneurs is sparking yet another cultural upheaval through technology. They are among the Upstarts, idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Young, hungry and brilliant, they are rewriting the traditional rules of business, changing our day-to-day lives and often sidestepping serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process.The Upstarts is the definitive account of a dawning age of tenacity, creativity, conflict and wealth. In Brad Stone’s highly anticipated and riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we find out how it all started, and how the world is wildly different than it was ten years ago.

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 well over a trillion dollars. Jeff Bezos’s empire, once housed in a garage, now spans the globe. Between services like Whole Foods, Prime Video, and Amazon’s cloud computing unit, AWS, plus Bezos’s ownership of The Washington Post, it’s impossible to go a day without encountering its impact. We live in a world run, supplied, and controlled by Amazon and its iconoclast founder.In Amazon Unbound, Brad Stone presents a deeply reported, vividly drawn portrait of how a retail upstart became one of the most powerful and feared entities in the global economy. Stone also probes the evolution of Bezos himself—who 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.

In the early nineties, a visionary special-effects guru named Marc Thorpe conjured a field of dreams different from any the world had seen It would be framed by unbreakable plastic instead of cornstalks; populated not by ghostly ballplayers but by remote-controlled robots, armed to the steely teeth, fighting in a booby-trapped ring. If you built it, they'd come all right....In Gearheads, Newsweek technology correspondent Brad Stone examines the history of robotic sports, from their cultish early years at universities and sci-fi conventions to today's televised extravaganzas -- and the turmoil that threatened the whole enterprise almost from the beginning.By turns a lively historical narrative, a legal thriller, and an exploration of a cultural and technological phenomenon, Gearheads is a funny and fascinating look at the sport of the future today.

“Tôi đã thấy rất nhiều sách viết về các tập đoàn công nghệ khổng lồ - Apple, Facebook, Google – nhưng chưa có cuốn nào về Amazon thực sự hay cả.” Brad Stone nói như vậy khi giải thích lý do viết về nhà bán lẻ Amazon; và quả thực, khó có ai có thẩm quyền viết về tập đoàn này hơn ông. Là một nhà báo kỳ cựu, ông có hàng chục năm thâm niên trong mảng công nghệ và hơn 10 lần phỏng vấn Jeff Bezos – Tổng giám đốc và nhà sáng lập tập đoàn. Ông bày tỏ mong muốn viết một cuốn sách về Amazon và Jeff Bezos tương tự như cuốn Steve Jobs của Walter Isaacson và được Bezos ủng hộ. Kết quả của tham vọng này là Jeff Bezos và kỷ nguyên Amazon.Trong cuốn sách này, Brad Stone kể lại câu chuyện của Amazon từ những ngày đầu thành lập năm 1994, khi tập đoàn khổng lồ này chỉ mới là một công ty nhỏ kinh doanh sách, văn phòng là một ga-ra nhỏ. Nhưng Bezos không chỉ muốn kinh doanh sách, mà còn nuôi tham vọng có một “cửa hiệu với đủ mọi loại mặt hàng”. Ông đã nhìn thấy tiềm năng của Internet. Chỉ sau khoảng 20 năm, Amazon trở thành một tập đoàn khổng lồ với hàng trăm nghìn nhân viên, doanh thu lên đến hàng chục tỷ đô la, còn bản thân Bezos vượt qua Bill Gates trở thành người giàu nhất thế giới. Bất chấp nhiều tranh cãi, có một thực tế không thể phủ nhận là sức ảnh hưởng sâu rộng của Amazon.“Chúng ta tưởng rằng chúng ta đã biết câu chuyện của Amazon, nhưng kỳ thực tất cả những gì chúng ta đã nghe chỉ là chuyện hoang đường,” Brad Stone viết trong phần lời tựa.Nhờ tài năng và kinh nghiệm nghề báo của Brad Stone, Jeff Bezos và kỷ nguyên Amazon đã đoạt giải Sách Kinh Doanh hay nhất của năm 2013 do tờ Financial Times và tập đoàn tài chính Goldman Sachs trao tặng và lọt vào danh sách các đầu sách bán chạy của tờ New York Times. Cuốn sách cũng đã được dịch sang 26 thứ tiếng.

L’histoire de la croissance sans précédent d’Amazon et de son fondateur milliardaire, Jeff Bezos : la réussite commerciale la plus importante de notre époque. Son fondateur a conduit Amazon à une croissance explosive tant en taille qu’en revenus. En moins de dix ans, Amazon a multiplié ses effectifs par cinq et augmenté sa valorisation à plus de mille milliards de dollars. Alors qu’Amazon ne vendait que des livres, il y a maintenant peu de produits qui ne trouvent pas leur place dans ses rayons, en faisant ainsi le plus grand détaillant en ligne au monde et pénétrant d’autres marchés à une vitesse vertigineuse. Entre les quarante filiales d’Amazon — comme Whole Foods Market, Amazon Studios à Hollywood, des sites Web comme Goodreads et IMDb, et l’unité logicielle cloud Amazon Web Services, ainsi que l’achat du Washington Post — il est presque impossible de passer une journée sans rencontrer leurs produits. Amazon nous offre la possibilité de faire du shopping, de se divertir, de s’informer, de communiquer, de stocker et, un jour, peut-être même de voyager sur la lune. Nous vivons dans un monde géré, fourni et contrôlé par Amazon. Dans ce livre, Brad Stone détaille les acquisitions et les innovations qui ont propulsé la croissance sans précédent d’Amazon, et le tournant qu’a pris l’opinion publique face aux pratiques découlant de la position de monopole de la firme. Tout en retraçant l’ascension fulgurante de l’entreprise, Stone sonde l’évolution de Jeff Bezos — qui d’entrepreneur geek est devenu un milliardaire en forme, célèbre et discipliné, un homme qui a dirigé Amazon d’une main de fer et cède maintenant sa place pour se consacrer à d’autres projets fous, comme le tourisme spatial. Le portrait sans fard d’un homme et d’une entreprise qui ont imaginé la vie moderne.
