Building Earth's Largest Library: Driving into the Future.

Abstract

And it all happened so fast. Less than 4 years ago, as the story goes, Jeff Bezos and his wife were driving across country with all of their possessions in the back seat. He had just left his job as a securities analyst for a Wall Street firm to try to get into something on the Internet, but when they started out from New York, he wasn’t exactly sure where they were going, nor what that business was going to be. However, by the time they’d crossed the Mississippi, he’d decided that the answers were Seattle and books. And the rest, as they say, is history.
