Book Spotlight: Googled: The End of the World as We Know It

Googled

Auletta, K.  (2009). Googled: The end of the world as we know it. New York: The Penguin Press. 

338.7610 AUL

This fast-paced, fun read gives inside information about how Google functions as a company and how that has evolved from its inception to its current status as an online giant.  Along the way, Auletta gives us great background information about the people of Google – the founders, CEOs, and other faces that make it all happen.  The book is peppered with interviews and insight into what the future holds for Google and other media business giants.  The book makes great reading for anyone interested to hear more of the Google story – from the casual reader to someone studying the current trends in advertising and media.
