Book covers quite a lot of foundational elements of software, internet, business intent of big tech. Loved every bit of it!

If you are already in the tech industry or familiar with current technology, the terminology, and how current tech works, this book is probably going to be too basic for you.The book does describe tech concepts and terminology in a basic, easily understood way with relatable analogies, so it would be great for someone who has very little understanding about how the tech around them works. If that's you and you're interested in understanding more about tech, it's worth the quick, easy read. If not, pass on this one.

I got my hands on this book thanks to a friend of mine posting a picture of his copy on LinkedIn with a very positive review of it. Right after I saw that post, I decided to download a sample on my Kindle and, after "devouring" the sample in like an hour, it was a fact that I needed to read the entire book, so I bought it right there. After reading the entire book, probably because of my background in mechanical engineering and in project management, I can tell everyone that this has been one of the most informative books I have read in my entire life. The sample gave me glimpses of what I was getting into, but after reading the book completely I can tell that the first pages of the books are not close to as good as the chapters after that. You will learn about the largest technology companies in the world and what their business models really are. You will get to know things as simple as how the internet works (how you literally got to read my review) and how big Amazon actually is (and will be). It doesn't matter if you're from the United States or from the Dominican Republic because this book has at least a dozen case studies you can easily relate to or learn from. This is a book about the past, the present and the future of the internet and the technologies shaping our lives and the business strategies that the companies from today take to stay relevant for the future. I would recommend reading this to every person because it will expand your technology literacy and will help you understand many things that happen around us on a daily basis and we (or was it just me?) take for granted. I will definitely make some friends read it. You won't regret reading this.
