Product Description
From the hilarious to the sublime, the essays and observations of cultural commentator extraordinaire, Chris "RageBoy" Locke. In more ways than one, Chris Locke has raised a godawful racket on the Net. Under his alter-egotistical nom de plume, RageBoy, and through his webzine, Entropy Gradient Reversals, he has entertained and enlightened thousands of readers from some of the world's largest companies, governments, and institutions-including those from which he's...

There are people who will swear by this book, there are people who will hate the book. There is no middle ground, i have checked and tried it out. Either you love it or you hate it. Poetic Nonsense in finesse and the finest form.
This will cure your longing of the cluetrain manifisto stuffs. Beautifully written and meaningless at some point, but you goona love it i guess, you gonna crave for more, and then subscribe the newsletter.
GO buy the book, and immerse yourself. I have read some part of the book more than 3 times. Amen.

Chris Locke gets me moist.
Something about this man’s extraordinarily vivid prose, salty vernacular and plangent intelligence just does it for me.
I’m freaking oozing here, just reading this thing. It’s getting embarrassing.
The Bombast Transcripts will rip your head off and wee Veuve Clicquot down your neck.
It is your duty as a citizen of the world to buy this book right now – pay as much as you can for it and then forward all of your remaining money to Chris Locke immediately. The future health, freedom and sanity of the human race depends entirely on our ability to make Chris the richest human on the face of the planet, so he can buy up Microsoft, GE, Ford, Berkshire Hathaway – all of them – and bitchslap some sense into them before it’s too late.
You know it makes sense.

I just finished Bombastic Transcripts, so if you have bothered to read this at all you’re probably wondering so what did this monkeyboy think? Good question, honestly I am still pondering it mulling it over in my head and probably will for a bit. It is a quick read, it’s an interesting read, but fundamentally it’s not a light read. It takes a little time for digestion and pondering… I suspect I will read it again in the next month or two and reconsider, hell maybe throw this whole review out.
So here’s my advice go buy the book, RageBoy needs the cash. If you like Tom Robbins, Hunter S Thompson, and the Gonzo style read away, you’ll enjoy it. Perhaps you will find some stuff to digest, even without ingesting any substances on the Schedule I drug list.
If you didn’t like Cluetrain Manifesto, Gonzo Marketing, or any Gonzo writing buy the book anyways, for the reasons stated above. Then hide the book in your bookshelf and wait until a really dark night, one in which your soul is screaming for mercy while the night rages in a Category 5 Hurricane and your only fresh reading material is a copy of Reader’s Digest you have flipped through already 15 times. Your mind goes hungry, for something unanswered and unknown, and you will recall this book hiding in some dark corner of the bookshelf covered in dust and a three month old edition of Fast Company magazine. You will pull it off the shelf and find yourself drawn to the words expressed inside and the walls of illusion come crashing down inside your mind. Either that or you’ll take a gun and pull a Hemmingway. Doesn’t much matter to me, if you survive reading it you might even find yourself signing up for Entropy Gradient Reversals, but let me warn you the shotgun is alot quicker and painless, but it’s not nearly as much fun.

Christopher Locke’s writing astonishes me.
His brain astonishes me more.
I can’t think of one other contemporary writer I can say the same about.

Wow. Wow. Rageboy’s ways are faster than America realizes. Blessed by more than a wit of words, Rageboy (AKA Chris Locke) steps three ahead in the market place. Who else would approach this strategy? Who else could get away with it?!? My prose aren’t as jumpy as Locke’s when it comes to surrounding your eyes and swirling your brain to confusion and delusion, so stop reading this review and read the book NOW!!!
…So yeah, buy Chris’ book and read it NOW…Laterz/Billy
