Praise for The Leading Indicators

"This is the first great novel of the Great Recession."  --Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group

“A new kind of ‘non-fiction novel’ that brilliantly personifies the challenges of this moment in our national life.” –Jonathan Alter, New York Times bestselling author of The Promise

Praise for Sonic Boom

“A pleasure to read and a welcome counter to the pessimism that surrounds us.” --The Wall Street Journal

“Sonic Boom is the business book you must read.” —Eric Schmidt, Chairman/CEO of Google Inc.

“Better than any other, this book explains why the future of our world is still a globalized future, one in which the increasing speed of change will directly affect us all. If you read Thomas Friedman’s The World Is Flat, you must read Sonic Boom, because this book is the next step.” —Tyler Cowen, Holbert C. Harris Professor of Economics at George Mason University and co-founder, Marginalrevolution.com

“Sonic Boom is the thinking person’s Future Shock.” —Carl Schramm, President, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation

Praise for The Here and Now

“Moving.” — The New York Times Book Review

“Exceptionally moving.” — The Los Angeles Times

"Thought provoking... The novel's moral message might seem heavy-handed if its observations didn't ring so true." -Wall Street Journal

"Well, what a sermon! But that's what Easterbrook has written, a thought-provoking sermon [which] deserves an evangelical 'enthusiastic', tent-meeting review." Carolyn See, Washington Post

"[Easterbrook's]engagement with social and spiritual causes comes through clearly in this satisfying tale of disillusionment and redemption." -San Francisco Chronicle
