As promised, this week I’ll be doing a quick review of Steven Levy’s book,
In the Plex: How Google Thinks, Works and Shapes Our Lives. As a tech journalist, Levy had a perspective on Google that few have enjoyed. John Battelle, who previous tackled Google in his book
The Search,
said, “I had limited access to folks at Google, and *really* limited access to Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Levy had the opposite, spending more than two years inside the company and seeing any number of things that journalists would have killed to see in years past.”
