Industry Reviews
"[O]ffers worthwhile insight into the peculiar, arrested-adolescent computer culture of Silicon Valley....Told in a breezy, sarcastic, italics-encrusted style....It's a predictable plot, but one that is brightened by Mr. Bronson's comic twists and savage cynicism--and by his infectious enthusiasm for entrepreneurial genius."
New York Times Book Review - Bill Kent (04/27/1997)
"A restrained sense of satire and minimal 'outrageousness,' along with convincing detail and 3-D characters, set this novel apart."
Wired - Rob Riddell (04/01/1997)
"A crafty, funny and synpathetic depiction of a world that's high-tech to the max, but very human for all that....With a fresh and affectionate eye, Bronson depicts the fragile egos and brilliance of 'ironmen' as they negotiate the real world."
