The way this book looks at Amazon is interesting no doubt. Not only does it track the way that Amazon as an economic juggernaut affects everything from federal policy down to daily quality of life of people in associated with the organization, but it also chronicles the political and social changes that happened before and during Amazon’s rise to prominence that allowed Amazon to make the changes in our society that it has. I think the breadth of the reporting in this text is genuinely impressive. I’m only knocking it a star because I felt that sometimes it kind of fell into “good old days” kind of rhetoric especially when describing medium and  small towns nostalgically, though I am and have always been a city babe so grain of salt I guess.
