The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon is a 2013 bestselling book written by journalist Brad Stone. It documents the rise of Amazon.com in the 1990s, its near demise during the dot-com bust, and its subsequent revival with the inventions of Amazon Prime, the Kindle and Amazon Web Services. It also recounts the childhood and early years of the company's founder Jeff Bezos, including his career on Wall Street working for the quantitative hedge fund D.E. Shaw & Co., LLP. As part of his research, Stone tracked down Ted Jorgensen, Bezos's biological father, who was unaware that his son had become one of the most famous businessmen in the world.
