Holiday is a fine writer. He brilliantly elucidates... [with] a reporter‘s eye for detail." --The Sunday Times of London “More than mere business history, Holiday elevates the story into something far more lasting, casting Thiel‘s actions into the timeless mold of the conspirator: the man who, armed with patience and an indignant urge to reshape the world, co-opts allies, musters resources, lulls adversaries, and ultimately strikes when the time is right, changing everything. ‘Conspiracy‘ will be the last word, the veil-lifting exposé, on that Gawker/Thiel war all of us read about, but none of use really understood, until now.” – Antonio Garcia Martinez, author of Chaos Monkeys
