Amazon desatado: Jeff Bezos y la invención de un imperio global

by Brad Stone

En Amazon desatado , Brad Stone presenta un retrato vívido y profundamente informado de cómo un Jeff Bezos convirtió una pequeña start-up de venta de libros a través de Internet en una de las empresas más poderosas y temidas de la economía global. Stone también investiga la evolución del propio Bezos, quien comenzó como un tecnólogo geek dedicado a construir Amazon, pero que se transformó para convertirse en un multimillonario del espectáculo, con ambiciones globales y espaciales; y siendo protagonista habitual del periodismo de chimentos. Definitivo, oportuno y revelador, Stone proporciona un retrato sin adornos de un hombre y una compañía que estada desatada, sin límites que la condicionen, y sin la cual no podríamos imaginar la vida moderna. Brad Stone es periodista de la agencia Bloomberg y autor de varios libros, entre otros The Everything Store en le cual analizaba los primeros años de Amazon.

About the author

I am the senior executive editor for global technology coverage at Bloomberg and the author of "Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire," published in May 2021 by Simon and Schuster.

The book is a sequel to my earlier work, "The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon," which won the Book of the Year Award in 2013 from The Financial Times and Goldman Sachs. I'm also the author of The Upstarts: Uber, Airbnb, and the Battle for the New Silicon Valley.

Over the last few years, I have authored a few dozen cover or feature stories for Bloomberg Businessweek on companies such as Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, Costco and the Chinese tech companies Didi, Baidu and Xiaomi. I joined the magazine from the New York Times, where I covered Silicon Valley from the newspaper's San Francisco bureau. Before that, I was a reporter for the once proud magazine known as Newsweek. I am also the author of a previous work of non-fiction, Gearheads, which the San Francisco Chronicle selected as one of the best books of 2003.

I graduated from Columbia University in 1993 and am originally from Cleveland, Ohio. I've lived in San Francisco for over 20 years but I'm still a Clevelander at heart- or should I say, at heartbreak, since the sports teams always manage to lose big (except the Cavs!) I have twin daughters and am teaching them to root for Cleveland teams as well because I believe adversity builds character. I hope you enjoy my books.
