Flash Boys

　　《魔球》、《大賣空》作者麥可．路易士大膽揭露華爾街內幕秘辛

　　1989年，麥可．路易士以描寫華爾街交易員生涯的《老千騙局》成功打開市場，晉身為國際暢銷作家；1999年，《The New New Thing：以新致富的矽谷文化》帶領讀者認識網際網路與資訊革命；2008年金融海嘯後，他在2010年出版《大賣空：預見史上最大金融浩劫之投資英雄傳》，見證史上最大金融風暴真相，被認為是《老千騙局》最佳續集。

　　曾經擔任所羅門兄弟債券交易員的麥可．路易士，擅長運用黑色幽默的犀利筆調寫出由「人」主導的商業故事，書中主角個性鮮明、形象立體，加上張力十足的情節，經好萊塢改編拍成電影後多能獲得各界好評。寫作總與當下時事環環相扣的路易士，新作《Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt》受到出版圈與商業界的高度矚目，預計又將帶來一波金融新話題。(文/ 博客來編譯)

　　If you thought Wall Street was about alpha males standing in trading pits hollering at each other, think again. That world is dead.

　　Now, the world's money is traded by computer code, inside black boxes in heavily guarded buildings. Even the experts entrusted with your cash don't know what's happening to it. And the very few who do aren't about to tell - because they're making a killing.

　　This is a market that's rigged, out of control and out of sight; a market in which the chief need is for speed; and in which traders would sell their grandmothers for a microsecond. Blink, and you'll miss it.

　　In Flash Boys, Michael Lewis tells the explosive story of how one group of ingenious oddballs and misfits set out to expose what was going on. It's the story of what it's like to declare war on some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. It's about taking on an entire system. And it's about the madness that has taken hold of the financial markets today.

　　You won't believe it until you've read it.
