Ever wonder what really happens behind the scenes at Google and how the Internet search giant operates? Google Executive Chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt along with former SVP of Products Jonathan Rosenberg will give you the inside scoop on the internal workings of Google in How Google Works, a book that's also available as an e-book in the Play store.

HOW GOOGLE WORKS is an entertaining, page-turning primer containing lessons that Eric and Jonathan learned as they helped build the company. The authors explain how technology has shifted the balance of power from companies to consumers, and that the only way to succeed in this ever-changing landscape is to create superior products and attract a new breed of multifaceted employees whom Eric and Jonathan dub "smart creatives."

Is this a book you'd want to read? Let us know.

The book is also available as a hardcover or Kindle book for Amazon (opens in new tab) shoppers.

  • Should be called, "How Eric Schmidt Fell Ass Backwards Into Google" Google was already on a path by the time Eric got their, at that time, I think anyone with strong business experience could of been at the Helm of Google and steered it into an amazing future

  • I don't think it's really right to call this a tell-all. More of a business book. "In the Plex" is full of great early-Google anecdotes, if that's what you're looking for.
  • Don't think there'd be much dirt in this book, but still would be an interesting read.
  • For awhile their I lost site of the fact that Google owns Android. I almost turned into one of those people who wanted Google off my android phone. Posted via Android Central App
