Dogfight by Fred Vogeistein
This is a cogent summary of events at Apple and Google in their races to build a phone and mobile operating system as well as explaining some untold stories behind the scenes. This book also showed some real faces of people, i.e. how some worked for the company for general improvement of technology and how some worked for themselves. I really enjoyed the part after Andy Rubin presented the idea of android to Samsung and how they ignored him only to come back after Google bought them. The conversation that happened after the sale between Samsung and Andy was really fascinating as it was all about to prevent Microsoft to operate in the mobile space.
