Reviews

"A veritable pinata of a book, which when smashed by the reader's enthusiastic attention, showers upon him everything from the history of useless roulette systems to the latest developments in chaos theory." -The New York Times
"An astonishing and fascinating tale of scientific heroism." -Richard Dawkins

"Bass has done the best job so far of capturing the marriage of technical imagination and the communal coziness that gave birth to Silicon Valley." -Los Angeles Times
