**Winner of the 2013 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award** Though Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail, its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, was never content with being just a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become 'the everything store', offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To achieve that end, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now... Jeff Bezos stands out for his relentless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way that Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing. Amazon placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet. Nothing would ever be the same again.

Inside Amazon Bewundert, gefürchtet und hart kritisiert: Firmengründer Jeff Bezos und sein Unternehmen Amazon mit Sitz in Seattle ist längst nicht nur der größte Onlineeinzelhändler der Welt.

Was ist das Geheimnis des Systems Amazon? Wer zahlt den Preis? Der Technologieexperte Brad Stone ist der Erste mit Zugang zum Zentrum der Macht. Er liefert den spannenden Insiderblick auf Licht und Schatten der Erfolgsgeschichte des Netzgiganten, auf das Profil seines rücksichtslos kompetitiven Gründers sowie den Ausblick auf seine Zukunft.
