"An irresistible and indispensable 360-degree guide to the new technology establishment.... A must-read." - Jonathan A. Knee, New York Times

"Reckless and rollicking... perceptive and funny and brave.... The resulting view of the Valley's craziness, self-importance and greed isn't pretty. But it's one that most of us have never seen before and aren't likely to forget." - Washington Post

"Michael Lewis was never a top Wall Street bond salesman, but in Liar's Poker he captured an era. Chaos Monkeys aims to do the same for Silicon Valley, and bracingly succeeds." - New York Times Book Review

"Brilliant." - Financial Times

"This year's best non-business book about business.... Garcia Martinez is a real writer.... A classic tale, well told." - Techcrunch

"There are some books that are just too good to miss.... In his insider-tells-all book, García Martínez discusses everything from goofy stories to cultural secrets about some of the country's most powerful and influential businesses." - Atlantic

"Incisive.... The most fun business book I have read this year.... Clearly there will be people who hate this book - which is probably one of the things that makes it such a great read." - Andrew Ross Sorkin, New York Times

"Eye-popping." - Vanity Fair

"[García Martínez] is, by his own account, a dissolute character.... He is nonetheless, by the end of his account, a winning antihero, a rebel against Silicon Valley's culture of nonconformist conformity.... The reader can't help rooting for him." - Jacob Weisberg, New York Review of Books
