Read it:
Seattle, 1994 to 2021. A hedge fund employee quits to sell books over a network almost nobody shops on, and then does something stranger than the business itself: he writes down, once a year, in a signed public document, exactly what he intends to do and why it will look like failure. Twenty-four letters follow, each one reattaching the first. Inside the company the same habit hardens into law — no slides, six pages of prose, a press release for a product that does not exist. The account follows what it costs to put a strategy in writing where anyone can hold it against you, and what the writing left out. Covers Jeff Bezos and Amazon.
