In The New Atlantis, James Poulos compares Thiel to Frederich Nietzsche and argues Thiel, 'the most political and theoretical of the supernerds,' writes esoterically in Zero to One, when he 'raises the prospect of a remarkably comprehensive failure among our best and brightest.' References Lee reviewed the book for Vox.com, writing that although Thiel's book contained some good advice, he made the advice sound more contrarian than it really was, did not provide sufficiently concrete advice, and made some questionable claims. Publishers Weekly wrote of the book: 'Thiel touches on how to build a successful business, but the discussion is too abstract to offer much to the next Steve Jobs-or Peter Thiel.' Barely 200 pages long, and well lit by clear prose and pithy aphorisms, Thiel has written a perfectly tweetable treatise and a relentlessly thought-provoking handbook'.

But much more than that, it's also a lucid and profound articulation of capitalism and success in the 21st century economy' and 'it's surprising in a wonderful way just how simple Zero to One feels. Yes, this is a self-help book for entrepreneurs, bursting with bromides and sunny confidence about the future that only start-ups can build. In his review article, he wrote: 'Peter Thiel's new book, Zero to One, shines like a laser beam.

In The Atlantic, Derek Thomson describes Thiel's book as possibly the best business book he has ever read. On September 13, Thiel appeared on NPR with host Wade Goodwyn to discuss the book. On September 11, Thiel answered questions for Ask Me Anything on Reddit. On September 9, Thiel was interviewed on Timothy Ferriss' podcast. He was also interviewed by Alexia Tsotsis of TechCrunch. To promote the book, Peter Thiel sent out his first (and only) tweet ever on September 8, 2014.
