If you’re interested in the history and evolution of search engines and pay-per-click, this book is for you. I read it last summer. It’s mostly centered around Google starting from when Google was the idea of a few Ph.D. students at Stanford to when the company was run out of a garage to how it steamrolled the established search engines. But it’s not completely about Google. The subtitle is “How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture. The book also explains why Google puts so much value on links.
