Summary
Comparing Google to an ordinary business is like comparing a rocket to an Edsel. Edwards, Employee Number 59, offers the first inside view of Google, giving readers a chance to fully experience the bizarre mix of camaraderie and competition at this phenomenal company. Edwards, Google's first director of marketing and brand management, describes it as it happened. We see the first, pioneering steps of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company's young, idiosyncratic partners; the evolution of the company's famously nonhierarchical structure (where every employee finds a problem to tackle or a feature to create and works independently); the development of brand identity; the races to develop and implement each new feature; and the many ideas that never came to pass.

You are one of us
From whence I came
In the beginning
A world without form
Marketing without "marketing"
Giving process its due
Real integrity and thoughts about God
A healthy appetite for insecurity
Cheap bastards who can't take a joke
Wang dang doodle- good enough is good enough
Rugged individualists with a taste for porn
Google grows and finds its voice
Lift off
Fun and names
Not the usual yada-yada
Googlebombs and mail fail
Managers in hot tubs and hot water
Is New York alive?
Where we stand
Two speakers, one voice
Mail enhancement and speaking in tongues
The sell of a new machine
Where we stand
Aloha AOL
We need another billion-dollar idea
Froogle and friction
Don't let marketing drive
Mistakes were made
Can this really be the end?
S-1 for the money.
