Recensione

"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)
