Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
At Amazon, 'Day One' is code for inventing like a start-up with little regard for legacy. Day Two is, in Jeff Bezos' own words, is 'stasis, followed by irrelevance, followed by excruciating, painful decline, followed by death'.
Most companies today are set up for Day Two. They build advantages and defend them fiercely rather than invent the future. But Amazon and fellow tech titans Facebook, Google and Microsoft are operating in Day One: they prioritise reinvention over tradition and collaboration over ownership.
Through 130 interviews with insiders, from Mark Zuckerberg to hourly workers, Always Day One reveals the tech giants' blueprint for sustainable success. Kantrowitz uncovers the engine propelling the tech giants' continued dominance at a stage when most big companies begin to decline. And he shows the way forward for everyone who wants to compete with, and beat, the titans.

Interesting analysis of the great four tech giants
Alex Kantrowitz has written a very interesting analysis of the great four tech companies' organizational culture and rather objectively. Definitely worth reading!

Sucks
Starts good but ends up sucking.
The day one policy interest me. It is really about constantly evolving.
Unfortunately this book completed wasted it’s opportunity covering topics such as black mirror. Wtf. Better just to read the day one article from Amazon and leave this book alone.

Fascinating subject but very shallow
The subject is fascinating but the book is disappointingly shallow. Very little new material is available and the analysis is so fundamentally flawed that one of the conclusions of the author on how to fix homelessness supposedly created by the high tech firms in San Francisco is to increase taxes even more...
