Description
Two PhD students at California's Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey Brin devised a powerful search engine that became the all-conquering Google. The two young men founded their company in September 1998 and it has since grown to become hugely dominant, as a brand, a search engine, a center of artificial intelligence and a source of data collection. Just six years later, in 2004, the company was floated in a first public offering. Page and Brin continue to own about 14 per cent of Google's publicly listed shares and control 56 per cent of the stockholder voting power through super-voting stock, giving each man a net worth estimated at around ã100 billion. This fascinating biography looks at the background behind the formation of the company, as well as the technology and the business model that led it to become so all-powerful.
