'Brad Stone is now the Edward Gibbon of Amazon - a reliable and engaging chronicler of one of the great forces of our age. If a company and a culture can have a biographer, Stone is Amazon’s - which, given the retailer’s ubiquity, makes him a biographer of the way all of us live now.'

'There are really only a handful of writers who can craft a page-turning narrative about the most transformative business ideas. Brad Stone is one. His topic of choice - Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos - is equal to his journalistic skill. In this book, he gives us his second must-read account of how the world's most important company and technology titan captured not only global retail, but Washington, Hollywood, outer space and your brain.'

'Amazon's reach is so extensive that it can seem easier to list the few areas of commerce that it doesn't touch than the many it does. Stone even-handedly describes the history, expansion and major personalities of the company.'
— Curtis Sittenfeld, my favourite non-fiction books
