Auke de Haan: The History of Google, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Google began as a research project at Stanford University in 1996 and within a decade became one of the most valuable and powerful companies in the world. This book traces the history of Google from its founding by Larry Page and Sergey Brin through its IPO, the creation of Alphabet, and its expansion into search, advertising, mapping, cloud computing, hardware, and artificial intelligence.

The book covers the business decisions, technical innovations, and regulatory battles that shaped Google's development, as well as the growing concerns about the company's influence over information, privacy, and online markets. It is written for general readers with an interest in the history of technology and the rise of the major tech companies that now define much of daily life around the world.
