Bombast Transcripts
Regular price
€17.99
From one of today's most original, outspoken, and outrageous writers comes an extraordinary collection of essays, anecdotes, and observations on our life and times. Under his alter-egotistical nom de plume, RageBoy®, Chris Locke has entertained and enlightened thousands of readers from some of the world's largest companies, governments, and institutions-including those from which he's managed to escape.The Bombast Transcripts brings together the best of his worst. And his worst is very good indeed. Part scathing send-up of commercial techno- fetishism, part hysterical standup on the theme of spiritual bankruptcy, part intimate memoir, The Bombast Transcripts will rock you, shock you, and leave you deeply pondering what The Economist once called "the wisdom of RageBoy."
Chris Locke is author of The Bombast Transcripts, co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto, and editor/publisher of the Webzine Entropy Gradient Reversals. He has worked for Fujitsu, Ricoh, the Japanese government's "Fifth Generation" artificial-intelligence project, Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, CMP Publications, Mecklermedia, MCI, and IBM. Named in a 2001 Financial Times Group survey as one of the "top 50 business thinkers in the world," he has written for a wide variety of publications, including Forbes, The Industry Standard, Information Week, Harvard Business Review, and Release 1.0.
