Amazon Story - Inside the giant machine: NOW ALSO in Print
Behind Amazon’s quirky smile logo lurks a cold and calculating giant machine. Author Kalpanik S. reveals his own smile as he tells the somewhat quirky story of his complex, and often hilarious, relationship with Amazon. From the sophisticated wit in his portrayal of the courtship period in “How To Get Hired By Amazon In Ten Days”, to the dark humor of the disillusionment period in “The Cold, Calculating Machine”, Kalpanik’s story is more than just an insider’s view of the giant machine known as Amazon.com. It’s a modern, universal story of the uneasy relationship between an individual and today’s gargantuan corporations. In the end, it is also a story of redemption for creative and freethinking individuals that define America.
At its axis, "Inside the Giant Machine" is a revealing look into the machinations of the marketing gorilla that is Amazon.
Yet, Kalpanik S.'s book tours the reader not only through the halls and warehouses of Amazon, but all around the domain of the tech industry, from Silicon Valley to Seattle. There are elements of travelogue, memoir and behind-the-scene peeks at a business and commerce that knows only one speed: Warp.
.... his quirky sense of humor has a Dave Barry-esque charm that needs no apology or explanation.
