Google in the New Yorker, on scanning books

Marissa Mayer (Gel Gel '03 speaker and Council member) is quoted in a good New Yorker piece about how Google intends to digitize "every book ever published." From Google's Moon Shot - New Yorker:

“We think that we can do it all inside of ten years,” Marissa Mayer, a vice-president at Google who is in charge of the books project, said recently, at the company’s headquarters, in Mountain View, California. “It’s mind-boggling to me, how close it is. I think of Google Books as our moon shot.”
