I'm Feeling Lucky

Early on this person says he's "not technical", so in that sense it would be like the Auletta book, except that Auletta is a reportage expert. In any case presents the thing from an alien mindset which is unfortunate but will see if I can stomach as much of it as I did with the other.

Googled, published by en:Penguin Press in 2009, subtitled The End of the World as We Know It is non-fiction book by Ken Auletta.

Part One

Messing with the Magic

Actually was "fucking with the magic". what the Comcast CEO had to say about the ideas Page and Brin had about advertising. A general overview of the founding principals, the situation, their background, the situation c. 1998. Sets tone of Aulettas background and perspective as a MSM literati, distorting a number of things, and missing the extent to which Google always was the dominant SE from c. 1997. Establishes "journalistic" perspective on the scientific and engineering mindset with which it confounds the master capitalist arc of persons and organizations which will be the real thing the book conveys and which he sees as alien and other, the typical perception of that which is "geek", more pointedly so as the percipient is an archetypal insider of the NY media establishment, whose fate at the hands of Google is the main theme of the book.
