Harper Collins Publishers Ltd Ben Mezrich - The Antisocial Network cene

Bestselling author Ben Mezrich offers a gripping, beatbybeat account of how a loosely affiliate group of private investors and internet trolls took down one of the biggest hedge funds on Wall Street, firing the first shot in a revolution that threatens to upend the financial establishment.

It started on a subreddit forum called WallStreetBets – a memefilled, freewheeling place where a disparate group of investors shared their shootthemoon investment tips, laughed about big losses and posted diamond hand emojis. Until some members noticed an opportunity in Game Stop – a flailing bricks and mortar videogame retailer – and somehow rode a rocket ship to tens of millions of dollars in earnings overnight, simultaneously triggering unfathomable losses for one of the most respected funds on the street.

In thrilling, pulsepounding prose, THE ANTISOCIAL NETWORK offers a fascinating, neverbeforeseen glimpse at the outsize personalities, dizzying swings, corporate drama, and underestimated American heroes and heroines who captivated the world during one of the most volatile weeks in financial history. It’s the amazing story of what just happened – and where we go from here.
