This is a combined corporate history of Netflix and a biography of its founder, Reed Hastings. Part of Mason Crest’s Tech Titans series (10 titles, including Amazon, Facebook, and Google), it offers accessible text, pop-culture references, and photos, sidebars, and graphics on almost every page. Additional features include defined vocabulary, links to educational videos, basic text-related quizzes, and extension research projects. The action begins with Hastings’ visit to a Blockbuster store in the 1990s to return a very overdue copy of Apollo 13, the spark that resulted in Netflix. Subsequent chapters highlight the life experiences that influence Hastings as he initiates constant innovations to keep Netflix ahead of its competitors. Coverage includes successes and failures and devotes considerable space to Hasting’s philanthropy. This offers plentiful information in an eye-catching, engaging format.
