Summary:
This book is a biography about the founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. It reveals their success of creating the fastest-growing company ever, making them the world’s youngest self-made billionaires. The reason behind their success was due to the fact that they were able to create an organized search engine that has all the information in the world and can deliver it in an organized manner within seconds.


Reflection:
It is a fascinating story about two college dropouts who became billionaires. Their story is very inspiring and I would like to grow up to become an electrical engineer working at Google. Overall, I liked reading the book and I learned some interesting facts, such as Tesla was Page’s role model, though Page also used his sad life story as a warning to the risks that could result if one is not being practical about his work.
