A revelation-packed journey into the secretive world of today’s most transformative and potentially disruptive company, uncovering Google’s bold, provocative pursuit of control of “all the world’s information.” Based on unprecedented access to the highly secretive “Googleplex,” including in-depth interviews with CEO Eric Schmidt and the heads of many of Google’s newest and most provocative businesses, New York Times business and technology columnist Randall Stross is the first to uncover what will be the highly controversial story of Google’s ambitious strategy – to make itself the indispensable gatekeeper of the fast-evolving information revolution.

As the company accumulates ever more information, how will Google make use of what it knows about us? Stross’s penetrating research provides a startling portrait of Google’s intentions and where the company is taking our culture.

Stross writes the New York Times column “Digital Domain” and is professor of business at San Jose State. He is the author of several books including The Microsoft Way and eBoys. He lives in Burlingame.
