A Theory of Nothing
Is intellectual pretension is still the most laughable of all human foibles? A THEORY OF NOTHING is a wildly imaginative and humorous novel about contemporary university life.

Between the Eagle and the Dragon won bronze medal in the 2014 AXIOM BUSINESS BOOKS AWARDS within the international business and globalisation category. |
The Australian Miracle
First published by Picador in 2006, this definitive and highly influential book, re-evaluated Australia for the twenty-first century.
