The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: This book is like sex for the programmer's mind!!!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author danoid - This book is awesome and Po Bronson is the man!!! After spending five years earning my bachelor's degree in computer science, I always wondered what it would be like to be a hot shot programmer at Silicon Valley earning a six-figure...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: Silicon self absorption

Tue, 23 May 2000 10:49:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author autodidact - This book evokes profound ambivalence. It attempts to capture the Silicon Valley gestalt (and especially its current Internet incarnation) by portraying the human types that make it run. (For more of a synopsis, see hweaver's excellent review.) There...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: Po Let Us Know

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 19:41:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arstevens - I've read all the reviews here in epinions on Po Bronson's "The Nudist on the Late Shift," and too many of them are negative. So I am trying to add my positive opinion to balance this out.

Perhaps I was not disappointed because I had...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: A Chronicle Of The Internet Revolution

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 01:41:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author charles - Make sure you check at the doors of mighty Silicon Valley where most likely you will be part of the characters in Po Bronson's new book. Bronson shows the rest of the world what it is like to work in the valley in an illusive effort to capture the...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: A lackluster effort

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 15:00:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mgreber - I first came across Po Bronson with his novel Bombadiers, an absolutely hysterical account of a trading floor that was essentially CS First Boston. I leapt after The First $20 Million Is Always The Hardest and loved this sophomore effort...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: Coffee, Donuts and Po

Sun, 14 Nov 1999 17:39:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sherlock_holmes - Po Bronson has delighted wired fans for years with his columns in Wired Magazine. This edited collection of his observations marks the ascent of Silicon Valley dreams to the broader market. This is a good introduction to the paranoid culture of the...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: Peephole into the Valley

Tue, 12 Oct 1999 19:52:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author socketboy - There are certainly a lot of people trying to give us those glimpses of the miracles that are happening in the Valley. There are PBS documentaries, magazine cover articles, even a feature movie all trying to touch upon what's going on in this wild and...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: Entertaining, but uninspired

Fri, 17 Sep 1999 21:11:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LuckyJack - With first-hand knowledge of one of the "subjects" in the book (John/David), I'll tell you, Po's a good writer. I genuinely liked the book. But I like many books.

This book is true in the same way that any article in Wired (where...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: Nudist tells it like it is

Mon, 13 Sep 1999 18:48:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author camworld - The biggest disappointment about Po Bronson's new book, a non-fiction diatribe about Silicon Valley and the culture that secures it, is the amount of the book that I had already read.

Bronson is a well-known contributing writer to such new...

The Nudist on the Late Shift by Po Bronson: The first great chronicle of the post-web world

Sat, 11 Sep 1999 20:03:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hweaver - How do you engage the evanescent? What kind of yardstick measures a growing consensus? Is there a meme-o-meter around here somewhere to separate the good ideas from the dumb ones?

And while you’re at it, answer this: How would *you* describe...
