Po Bronson is a feature writer for Wired and has written about high-tech culture for The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes ASAP. His first novel, Bombardiers (1995), was translated into ten languages, became an international bestseller, and was described by Business Week as "Perhaps the most entertaining depiction of greed on Wall Street ever to see print." His second novel, The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest (1997), was called "a smart, sassy fantasy" by The New York Times. The Boston Herald added, "Ken Kesey would be proud."

When asked in December 1998 which young authors he was reading, Tom Wolfe responded, "Two of the writers I look to with premendous interest are Richard Price and Po Bronson. Those are the two writers I am watching very closely, because they are so talented."

Bronson grew up in Seattle, graduated from Stanford University in 1986, and lives in San Fransisco.
