Nowadays, 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. 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.
