Seattle, Sunnyvale, Cambridge and West Texas, 1994 to 2025. A quantitative analyst leaves a New York hedge fund to sell books by mail and discovers that the hard problem is not the store but the building behind it: how to find one object among millions and put it in a box. Two decades later the same company tries to remove the screen altogether and finds that a far-field microphone in a kitchen is a harder engineering problem than a search box ever was. In the desert a second company spends twenty years teaching a rocket to land on its tail. This is an account of three physical problems — the pick, the utterance and the landing — told from inside the constraints as the engineers actually met them. Covers Jeffrey Preston Bezos, Amazon.com, Blue Origin, and Lab126.
