???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Remember when Google’s motto was “Don’t be Evil''? With Google celebrating its 23rd birthday this week (thanks Doodle), we thought it would be a good idea to catch up on the early years of the tech giant with The Google Story by David A Vise. This biography of the company charts its early history and the trials and tribulations of founders Sergei Brin and Larry Page and how the world’s most reliable was born out of a simple solution to the chaos of the emerging web.

This is a story of a different era in tech, back when tech founders and corporations were hailed as a force of positive change with altruism being the primary motive. It really makes a point to remind the reader of the company’s old motto and the founders’ roots as Burning Man enthusiasts. While it does touch on some of its later controversies (the privacy backlash of Gmail), it presents these as necessary problems that can be solved through engineering — a far cry from their current reputations as all-powerful, anti-competitive, invasive, advertising revenue pursuing machines whose algorithms are basically destroying human culture.
