Summary
For fans of Bad Blood and The Big Short, the story of how one reclusive trading prodigy manipulated Wall Street and amassed millions from his childhood bedroom – then short-circuited the global market.
A real-life financial thriller, Flash Crash gives panoramic insight into our economic landscape – its weaknesses, its crooks and its exploitable loopholes – and uncovers the remarkable, behind-the-scenes narrative of a mystifying market crash, a globe-spanning investigation into international fraud, and the man – Navinder Singh Sarao – at the centre of it all.
Depending on whom you ask, Sarao was a scourge, a symbol of a financial system run horribly amok, or a folk hero: an outsider who took on the tyranny of Wall Street and the high-frequency traders.
Critic reviews
"The UK's pre-eminent chronicler of financial crime." (New Yorker)
"Not just a readable, pacey account of an extraordinary individual and his quixotic quest for money he didn’t even spend, but also a troubling exposé of the fragility of our entire financial syste...I loved it." (Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland)

Good book, poorly read
Am interesting story, well researched, but unfortunately poorly read in a very staccato style. But worth a read anyway.

Highly recommended
Thr author did his research really well and offers a very well rounded perspective on Nav Sarao, there are times you hate him and times you feel empathy towards him!

Fascinating book about a real person.
Really well written with enough explanation of complex trading issues to satisfy the lay reader and still at a level for professionals.

A rare gem
Extraordinarily well researched and documented, this very rewarding listen explores all the fascinating details of Nav’s personality, his trading style and tools against the backdrop of selective regulation and the murky world of alternative investments that Nav ultimately fell victim of.
Massive respect to the author and to Nav and great shame on the UK authorities to allow him to be used as a scapegoat by the USA regulators and exchanges.
Good luck Nav!

A fascinating listen
I recalled the story of the hound of hounslow in the news so it was interesting to hear the detail behind the headlines and how Navinder still living with his parents, traded from his bedroom, making millions whilst his parents were unaware.
If you enjoy the Michael Lewis books then you will enjoy this.

best read since flash boys
Such a rivetting read you would assume it's fiction but it all really happened. If you enjoyed Flash Boys and The Big Short you will love this.
