One thing that is impressive about Google is that it actually treats its workforce from an information age perspective vs. the traditional industrial age perspective that still exists at most Fortune 500 companies. Google gets it and the young innovative workers of the future flock to their door wanting to be a part of that transformation. Sounds like a great book idea.

The company whose motto is "don't be evil" is in fact the most evil company going today, outside of mainland China. The marvel is they way they've managed to create a squeaky-clean image while massively violating privacy, spitting all over copyrights and intellectual property, and colluding with China to throw decent people in prison. They've created a "network neutrality" movement whose lust for regulation represents the greatest threat to the Internet and free speech that's ever happened. Google is truly a monstrous monopoly, and I hope you will chip away at their massive foundation, Jeff. Some day you'll be celebrated as a champion of freedom if you help in some small way to shine a light on the threat to democracy that is Google.
