Brief review: The world is not clean. The white collar job is actually not white. It's a game which few play at the cost of many. The book is about high frequency trading on US stock exchanges. It exposes high frequency traders and the methods they applied to siphon away millions and billions of dollars just by rigging the system and benefiting with nanoseconds advantage. A good read, specially for those having interest in stock markets and technology. To write a book like this you need to completely immerse yourself into the subject matter for months and years. Nobody could do it better than Michael Lewis. It's an explosive story (the real one) which will reveal and expose the secret of rich and powerful.
