Most people will misinterpret what this book really is. Most people will think, "Hmm if I read this book I can start another google." Nothing could further from the truth. This is a book about how to run a gigantic software organization once it gets huge, rich, and sclerotic. This book has no insight into how to start another Google. The only insight is into where will you end up if your startup ends up huge, rich, and sclerotic, like Google.
