Brad Stone (born c. 1971) is an American journalist and the author of the books, Gearheads: the Turbulent Rise of Robotic Sports (2003) and The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon (2013).[1]

Career

Brad Stone is a senior writer for Bloomberg Businessweek, based in Bloomberg's San Francisco bureau.[2] He has written many cover stories on leading technology companies, including Apple,[3] Google,[4] Facebook,[5] Twitter,[6] Yahoo[7] and Amazon.[8] Previously, he was a reporter for the New York Times[9] and Newsweek magazine.[10] Stone is a frequent guest on Bloomberg West, a daily show focused on technology.[11]

In 2009, Stone was found to have obfuscated the connections between himself and the sources interviewed for a trend story about people checking their e-mail first thing in the morning. Times spokesoman Catherine Mathis told the blog, the nytpicker "If the editors of the article had known about the relationships among those quoted, that would have given them additional reason to ask for more examples."[12]

Works

In 2003, Simon & Schuster published his first book, Gearheads: The Turbulent Rise of Robotic Sports, about the combat robot culture.

On August 5, 2007, Stone published a story in The New York Times exposing Forbes editor Daniel Lyons as "Fake Steve Jobs", the author of The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs.[13][14]

On June 28, 2012, Stone wrote in Business Week about his interactions with Frenchman Alexandre Despallieres, an alleged conman with suspected ties to the death of music executive Peter Ikin.[15]

In October 2013, Little, Brown & Co. published Stone's book The Everything Store about the rise of Amazon.com.[1]
