"Big Short" Author to Release Close-up Account of SBF in October, Chronicling the Rise and Fall of FTX

In June 2022, Michael Lewis, the author of "The Big Short," revealed that the theme of his next book would focus on characters in the "cryptocurrency space." According to the initial promotion, it is highly likely that the book will center around the founder of the bankrupt exchange FTX, SBF. Recently, the publisher has released pre-order information, and this October, Michael Lewis will release the book titled "Going Infinite – The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon."

SBF Record New Book Introduction

According to the existing website introduction, this book is described as follows:

When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the youngest billionaire in the world and the Gatsby of the crypto world. After almost overnight rising to the Forbes billionaire list, CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of some small countries all vied for his time and money. Who is this scruffy man in shorts and white socks? In Zoom meetings, his eyes constantly wander, playing games.

In "Going Infinite," Lewis attempts to answer this question, leading readers into the world of SBF's thoughts. His rise and fall provide an educational experience for high-frequency trading, cryptocurrencies, philanthropy, bankruptcy, and the judicial system. "Going Infinite" is both a psychological self-portrait and a financial roller coaster ride. Lewis showcases his highest level in this book, tracking a character who never liked rules and was allowed to live life on his own terms, watching his dazzling trajectory until everything collapses.
