BULL is the inside story on the people with all the money and none of the morals. It s packed with smart ideas and has more twists at the end than a pig. With a style both utopian and blackly cynical, Rushkoff once again nails the zeitgeist before it happens. - Grant Morrison<p></p>A comic-satirical narrative of ideas, Bull is delivered in the lucid, energetic and accessible style of Rushkoff's non-fiction - Independent<p></p>In Jamie Cohen, Rushkoff has created a protagonise who is a wonderful combination of Heinz Wolff, Woody Allen and one of John Grisham's fresh-faced heroes. Bull is consistently inventive. Rushkoff has investigated the changing value of technology and in the process produced a compassionate, funny, human tale set in the most unlikely of environments - Independent on Sunday<p></p> Douglas Rushkoff is one of the great thinkers, and writers, of our time - Dr. Timothy Leary

Jamie Cohen is new on Wall Street. But technology stock are trading at record highs, the Nasdaq is off the scale, everyone wants a piece of the action and few people understand any of it. The insights Jamie learnt as a hacker make him indispensable in this new world. The upside is that everyone can trade options. The downside, no one has any options. As the mania for on-line share dealing turns the ordinary citizens of New York into rabid day-traders, Jamie resolves to break the cycle of greed.

Jamie's first-hand account of the dawn of e-commerce in the Twenty-first century was only discovered some two hundred years later, so the manuscripts' future editors have included helpful footnotes explaining the significance of such cultural phenomena as Microsoft, Geraldo Rivera and Feng Shui. These show that in the future, no one will recognise bull.
