Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon (Norton)
Friday, 13 September 2024

When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world's youngest billionaire and crypto's Gatsby. Lewis takes readers into the mind of Bankman-Fried, whose rise and fall offers an education in high-frequency trading, cryptocurrencies, philanthropy, bankruptcy, and the justice system. With a new afterword on Sam Bankman-Fried’s trial and its aftermath, the book traces the mind-bending trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by his own―until it all came undone.
