In the beginning was Josh Levine, an idealistic programming genius who dreamed of wresting control of the market from the big exchanges that, again and again, gave the giant institutions an advantage over the little guy. Levine created a computerized trading hub named "Island" where small traders swapped stocks, and over time his invention morphed into a global electronic stock market that sent trillions in capital through a vast jungle of fiber-optic cables.

Author is trying too hard to be Malcolm Gladwell

The author could simply describe the activities that threaten to undermine our markets and how they came to be.
Instead, as he sits in his herman miller chair, weaving a story around the facts he has gathered, he f***ing tells you about the color of the coffee mug on the desk and imagines the f***ing conversations the people had, adding in f***ing profanity to make you are in the room, which is lit by CFL bulbs, the glow painting the untoward behaviors in stark, unflattering colors. The book could easily be 2/3 the length if it focused on the facts and only told the background color when it absolutely matters. It's not bad. But it could have been great.

Stop doing impressions...
Revisado: 09-08-19
Hard to take the book seriously when the narrator keeps giving funny voices to all the people. I swear there is a part where he impersonates Bono, chickens out on doing an irish accent and ends up sounding like a pirate.
The book itself reads like a bunch of cocktail reception stories. "Did I tell you about the time that Matt Damon crashed the studio with a bunch of other celebrities? Oh this one is good..." not bad, but a bit repetitive over the course of 25 chapters.
didn't really feel like I was learning anything, rather sat in a studio talking to an easily distracted engineer...
