In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software. But they couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, shipping an operating system (including camera software) to over three billion devices worldwide.

This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen.

5 stars

I can count the number of 5-star reviews I've given on one hand. I've not enjoyed a computer history book this much since "Defying Gravity: The Making of the Newton" nearly 30 years ago.

Haase is a sparkling writer who has made the footnote into an educational and comedic art form.
