My choice for the beach... The Nudist on the Late Shift is the riveting tale of California's Silicon Valley * Daily Telegraph *
A remarkable piece of reportage - the finest evocation of Silicon Valley to emerge so far * The Times *
Bronson is a snappy writer who goes light on the street slang and technical jargon. Furthermore he is excellent at describing complex processes in simple, easy-to-grasp terms. Like all the best reportage, this is research laced with anecdote and adrenalin * Independent on Sunday *
The world's best, smartest, funniest and most complete tour of the Temple of Prosperity.... To call it a travelogue doesn't convey the elegance of this book. Bronson is one of America's most talented rising young novelists, and brings a literary grace to his reporting * Management Today *
