Books like 21 dog years by Mike Daisey


Mike Daisey details his unconventional trajectory through Amazon’s early years, beginning as a temporary employee in 1998 and advancing to a key business‑development role. The narrative outlines the rapid expansion of e‑commerce, the intense pace of the online book trade, and the broader internet industry’s economic dynamics. From the cramped “cube farms” where orders were managed on Post‑its to the high‑energy, caffeine‑driven days of customer service and tech support, Daisey offers a candid view of the workplace culture that defined the dot‑com boom. His memoir also touches on venture capitalism, the pursuit of profitable partnerships, and the internal pressures faced by Amazon’s leadership during a period marked by significant innovation and volatility.
