Goldstein succeeds in making this a debut that will make your heart race - even as it gives you plenty to think about.”
- Naomi Wolf, author of GIVE ME LIBERTY
"I worked with Ken Goldstein at Disney: and since I knew he could write, I encouraged him to do just that, to write a novel. As impressed as I always was with him as an executive, I’m equally impressed with what he accomplished with a pen (or maybe a computer).”
- Michael Eisner
"Ken Goldstein knows the ins and outs of Silicon Valley - the customs of the land and where the bodies are buried. I would read anything he wrote, nonfiction or fiction, set on that fascinating terrain.”
- Will Schwalbe, author of THE END OF YOUR LIFE BOOK CLUB
"Given Ken Goldstein’s pedigree as a major Internet CEO whose vision has significantly shaped today’s digital world, it’s no surprise that his first novel takes us on a thrilling front-of-the-coaster rocket ride through the Valley of Silicon. While THIS IS RAGE is surely required reading for all high tech and deal-savvy action/thriller fans, it is an absolute crystal ball for radio broadcasters who are still scratching their heads as to the future of their industry.”
- Mitch Dolan, Former President, ABC Radio Station Group
"Ken Goldstein has written a modern-day blockbuster! Smart, insightful, and engaging, the story takes us on a thrill ride through the circus-like madness of corporate American, the media, and government. It reveals with stunning clarity the inept and all-too-sinister characters that inhabit these worlds. You cannot help but think that Goldstein has had a front row seat and used his real life experiences to masterfully weave a fictional narrative that enlightens as much as it entertains. A must read.”
- Gene Del Vecchio, author of CREATING BLOCKBUSTERS! and Adjunct Professor, USC Marshall School of Business
