From the bestselling author of The Everything
Store, an unvarnished picture of Amazonâs unprecedented growth and its
billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos, revealing the most important business story of
our time.
âIf a company and a culture can have a biographer, Stone is Amazonâsâwhich,
given the retailerâs ubiquity, makes him a biographer of the way all of us live
now.â âJon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling
author
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 Bezosâs
empire, once housed in a garage, now spans the globe. Between services like
Whole Foods, Prime Video, and Amazonâs cloud computing unit, AWS, plus Bezosâs
ownership of The Washington Post, itâs 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
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 revelatory, Stone has provided an unvarnished portrait
of a man and company that we couldnât imagine modern life without.
