内容简介
······

Comparing Google to an ordinary business is like comparing a rocket to an Edsel. No academic analysis or bystander’s account can capture it. Now Doug Edwards, Employee Number 59, offers the first inside view of Google, giving readers a chance to fully experience the bizarre mix of camaraderie and competition at this phenomenal company. Edwards, Google’s first director of marketing and brand management, describes it as it happened. We see the first, pioneering steps of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company’s young, idiosyncratic partners; the evolution of the company’s famously nonhierarchical structure (where every employee finds a problem to tackle or a feature to create and works independently); the development of brand identity; the races to develop and implement each new feature; and the many ideas that never came to pass. Above all, Edwards—a former journalist who knows how to write—captures the “Google Experience,” the rollercoaster ride of being part of a company creating itself in a whole new universe.

I’m Feeling Lucky captures for the first time the unique, self-invented, yet profoundly important culture of the world’s most transformative corporation.

评论 ······

作者到底是搞文字活儿的，整本书读起来很舒服流畅，有很多细节，从一个非技术人员的视角讲述了 Google 的成长与变迁。从中学到了不少东西，尤其是在公司草创时期，多少不专业的惊险，也可以给自己目前的岗位做个参考。看到最后作者决定离开 Google 时，还挺让人唏嘘的——所以又说回来，还是得说文笔好。

Lots of anecdotes of early Googlers and Google. A deeper understanding of today's Google and its culture.

I'm now again a Google fan 🙂

非常好的书，写了很多Google早期的风格轶事，作者学的是英文，搞市场的，所以不懂技术，但这个丝毫不影响本书的价值。作者的文笔相当幽默，读起来很流畅。
