Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon

byMichael Lewis

Michael Lewis follows Sam Bankman-Fried from his rapid emergence as a cryptocurrency billionaire to the collapse of FTX and the criminal case that followed. Granted unusual access to Bankman-Fried and his circle, Lewis portrays an eccentric founder driven by probability, games, effective altruism, and extraordinary confidence in his own judgment. The book moves through trading firms, political donations, celebrity influence, chaotic management, and missing customer money. It offers an intimate account of a financial disaster while raising contested questions about ambition, self-deception, responsibility, and the stories observers tell about apparent genius.
