Synopsis "the big short,inside the doomsday machine"

Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller Liar's Poker. Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.

Michael Lewis (New Orleans, 1960) is a renowned American writer and journalist specialized in economics, finance, and popular culture. Graduated in Art History from Princeton University and with a master's in Economics from the London School of Economics, he worked as a bond trader at Salomon Brothers, an experience he narrated in his first book, Liar’s Poker (1989). Since then, he has published numerous non-fiction works that combine rigorous research with an accessible and engaging narrative

Among his most notable titles are Moneyball: Breaking the Rules (2003), The Blind Side (2006), The Big Short (2010), and Flash Boys: The Wall Street Revolution (2014). Several of these works have been successfully adapted into films, including Moneyball and The Big Short, the latter winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. His most recent book, Going Infinite (2023), addresses the rise and fall of Sam Bankman-Fried and the FTX platform. Lewis has been awarded prizes such as the Gerald Loeb Award and was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2023.
