For ten years, journalist Alec MacGillis traveled the United States, from Washington and Baltimore to Seattle and San Francisco, investigating and collecting testimonies from people affected by Amazon's influence on American society and politics. Workers crushed by the rising cost of living due to the construction of data processing centers or distribution warehouses of this economic giant, which has displaced the traditional economic activity of their cities. "A l'ombra d'Amazon" is a study of a fractured and limited society. A must-read to understand how the global economy works in the click era and what can happen if the power of monopolies is not restricted.
