New bank failures have been a rude awakening for everyone who believed that the banking industry was reformed after the Global Financial Crisis—and that we'd never again have to choose between massive bailouts and financial havoc. The Bankers' New Clothes uncovers just how little things have changed—and why banks are still so dangerous.

Easy to follow narrative, but no pdf for figures that are in book or ebook. A good overview of banking basics and Basel requirements.

The cohost of the popular NPR podcast Planet Money provides a well-researched, entertaining, somewhat irreverent look at how money is a made-up thing that has evolved over time to suit humanity's changing needs.

Great intro to a complex topic

An easy overview of a complex topic. Jacob is a wonderful narrator and his time in radio is clear.

In "Helix" a detective takes a case that leads him into the twisted world of genetic modification and artificial intelligence.

What did you love best about Animus?
I recently finished Animus. I consumed all six stories over two days—about 3 hours of listening. I enjoyed all six stories and I hope Powell creates more of them.
The Book:
The anthology consists of six very different tales. Some stories are closer to the horror end of the spectrum like “Old Lady Prideaux's Terrible Menagerie" and “Snowed In”. Other stories like “Helix" and “Traffic Light” are noir themed. The remaining two stories, “What the People Want" and “Let Sleeping Gods,” have a political tone.
My three favorite stories are “Snowed In”, “Old Lady Prideaux” and “What the People Want”. In “Snowed In” Powell takes an otherwise traditional horror story of murder and plays with the narration to create a more suspenseful story. In contrast, “Old Lady Prideaux,” is just a fun supernatural horror story with a likable hero. Lastly, in the story, “What the People Want” Powell demonstrates the affect pop culture has on the legal system by creating that very system.
I hope Powell’s next book expands on his political ideas but better intertwines them with horror and noir rather than have them as separates. All in all, Animus made me remember how much fun it could be exploring a fictional world.
What about Scott F. Feighner’s performance did you like?
Scott F. Feighner does a good job at narrating. He does just the right amount of voices without distracting from the story.
Any additional comments?
Disclosure:
I received a coupon code for the audible version of this book from the author after responding to a request to read the collection.
