It is too soon to say we have entered a post-Covid world, but it is never too soon to prepare for the future. So to celebrate the launch of this year’s Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award, we asked longlisted, shortlisted and winning authors to choose a book to add to a post-pandemic reading list.
Last year’s winner, Sarah Frier, author of No Filter, selected a book that could be in the running this year. Her choice is Amazon Unbound (published next month), by Brad Stone, who won the book award himself in 2013 with his last book on the ecommerce and technology group, The Everything Store.
“Covid only increased our dependence on technology companies, Amazon chief among them,” Frier wrote. “Brad’s book is essential to understanding the company’s pursuit of dominance, sometimes at a high societal cost.”
