Googled: The End of the World as We Know It Tapa dura - 2009

de Ken Auletta

A revealing, forward-looking examination of the outsize influenceGoogle has had on the changing media Landscape.

There are companies that create waves and thosethat ride or are drowned by them. As only he can, bestsellingauthor Ken Auletta takes readers for a ride on the Google wave,telling the story of how it formed and crashed into traditionalmedia businesses-from newspapers to books, to television,to movies, to telephones, to advertising, to Microsoft. Withunprecedented access to Google's founders and executives, aswell as to those in media who are struggling to keep their headsabove water, Auletta reveals how the industry is being disruptedand redefined.

Using Google as a stand-in for the digitalrevolution, Auletta takes readers inside Google's closed-doormeetings and paints portraits of Google's notoriously privatefounders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as those whowork with-and against-them. In his narrative, Aulettaprovides the fullest account ever told of Google's rise, shares the"secret sauce" of Google's success, and shows why the worldsof "new" and "old" media often communicate as if residents ofdifferent planets.

Google engineers start from an assumption thatthe old ways of doing things can be improved and made moreefficient, an approach that has yielded remarkable results-Google will generate about $20 billion in advertising revenuesthis year, or more than the combined prime-time ad revenuesof CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX. And with its ownership ofYouTube and its mobile phone and other initiatives, GoogleCEO Eric Schmidt tells Auletta his company is poised to becomethe world's first $100 billion media company. Yet there aremany obstacles that threaten Google's future, and oppositionfrom media companies and government regulators may bethe least of these. Google faces internal threats, from itsburgeoning size to losing focus to hubris. In coming years,Google's faith in mathematical formulas and in slide rule logicwill be tested, just as it has been on Wall Street.

Distilling the knowledge accrued from a career ofcovering the media, Auletta will offer insights into what weknow, and don't know, about what the future holds for theimperiled industry.


Resumen

A revealing, forward-looking examination of the outsize influence Google has had on the changing media Landscape.

There are companies that create waves and those that ride or are drowned by them. As only he can, bestselling author Ken Auletta takes readers for a ride on the Google wave, telling the story of how it formed and crashed into traditional media businesses?from newspapers to books, to television, to movies, to telephones, to advertising, to Microsoft. With unprecedented access to Google?s founders and executives, as well as to those in media who are struggling to keep their heads above water, Auletta reveals how the industry is being disrupted and redefined.

Using Google as a stand-in for the digital revolution, Auletta takes readers inside Google?s closed-door meetings and paints portraits of Google?s notoriously private founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as those who work with?and against?them. In his narrative, Auletta provides the fullest account ever told of Google?s rise, shares the ?secret sauce? of Google?s success, and shows why the worlds of ?new? and ?old? media often communicate as if residents of different planets.

Google engineers start from an assumption that the old ways of doing things can be improved and made more efficient, an approach that has yielded remarkable results? Google will generate about $20 billion in advertising revenues this year, or more than the combined prime-time ad revenues of CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX. And with its ownership of YouTube and its mobile phone and other initiatives, Google CEO Eric Schmidt tells Auletta his company is poised to become the world?s first $100 billion media company. Yet there are many obstacles that threaten Google?s future, and opposition from media companies and government regulators may be the least of these. Google faces internal threats, from its burgeoning size to losing focus to hubris. In coming years, Google?s faith in mathematical formulas and in slide rule logic will be tested, just as it has been on Wall Street.

Distilling the knowledge accrued from a career of covering the media, Auletta will offer insights into what we know, and don?t know, about what the future holds for the imperiled industry.

Reseñas en medios

“This is an engrossing look at Google and the broader trends in information and entertainment in the Internet age.”—Booklist, Starred Review



“[A] savvy profile of the Internet search octopus….[and] a sharp and probing analysis of the apocalyptic upheavals in the media and entertainment industries.”—Publishers Weekly



“Auletta uncovers some endlessly colorful material and assesses [Google’s] prospects critically but fairly.”—Kirkus Reviews



“Auletta has captured something critical and true about the tribe that made the enormous success of Google possible. His understanding is critical and essential for anyone trying to predict how long this run of enormous success will continue. Bottom line: Not forever, and maybe not much longer. Here's exactly why.”—Larry Lessig, author of Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy and Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity



“A uniquely incisive account of the new Internet revolution, powered by Ken Auletta’s unparalleled access. Essential reading.”—Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape and co-founder of Ning



"Ken Auletta has produced the seminal book about media in the digital age. It is a triumph of reporting and analysis, filled with revealing scenes, fascinating tales, and candid interviews. Google is both a driver and a symbol of a glorious disruption in the media world, and Auletta chronicles, in a balance and thoughtful way, both that glory and that disruption."—Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe and Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
