The Nudist on the Late Shift: Tales from

Silicon Valley

Po Bronson is today’s leading chronicler of Silicon Valley and of the ways in which technology is re-defining the “American Dream” Perhaps the most interesting aspect of his commitment to telling this story is the price he’s paid to tell it: “Since seeping myself deeply into Silicon Valley, I have had offers to join startups that promised (and would have delivered) enough stock options to never have to think about money again—and turned them down All because it has been and remains my dream to write what it is that must be written.”

Carrying out this dream has been a successful endeavor for Bronson, a publishing executive, former bond salesman at First

Boston, and Wired feature writer who first came to national attention with his best-selling novel, Bombardiers With this book, which drew

from his experiences as a bond salesman, he earned a reputation as a uniquely informed commentator on the way money can dictate social and cultural climates

Following Bombardiers, Bronson shifted his gaze to the world of high technology in The First $20 Million is Always the Hardest The

San Francisco Chronicle applauded his work for “perfectly capturing

the antic side of the Silicon Valley’s mad quest for money and fame.”

Bronson is originally from Seattle, Washington, and earned his Bachelor’s degree from Stanford University He also holds an M.F.A from San Francisco University
