THE COMING STORM (AUDIOBOOK)

An Audible Original. Narrated by Michael Lewis.

Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis… Weather can be deadly–especially when it strikes
without warning. Millions of Americans could soon find themselves at the mercy
of violent weather if the public data behind lifesaving storm alerts gets
privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original feature, New York
Times best-selling author and journalist Michael Lewis delivers hard-hitting
research on not-so-random weather data–and how Washington plans to release it.
He also digs deep into the lives of two scientists who revolutionized climate
predictions, bringing warning systems to previously unimaginable levels of
accuracy. One is Kathy Sullivan, a gifted scientist among the first women in
space; the other, D.J. Patil, is a trickster-turned-mathematician and a
political adviser. Most urgently, Lewis’s narrative reveals the potential cost
of putting a price tag on information with the potential to save lives, raising
questions about balancing public service with profits in an ethically-ambiguous
atmosphere.

Length: 2 hours and 27 minutes

THE FIFTH RISK

In Stores Now

What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have
no idea how it works?

“The election happened,” remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy
secretary of the Department of Energy. “And then there was radio silence.”
Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were
few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the
functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that
had been prepared for them.

Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a
government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital
programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce
Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over
at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there
will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before
terrorists do.

Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is
to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are
better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal
immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those
problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge
makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to
shrink the world to a worldview.

If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of
course. They are the linchpins of the system—those public servants whose
knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis
finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.

THE UNDOING PROJECT: A FRIENDSHIP THAT CHANGED OUR MINDS

"Brilliant. . . . Lewis has given us a spectacular account of two great men who
faced up to uncertainty and the limits of human reason.”
—William Easterly, Wall Street Journal

Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a
series of breathtakingly original papers that invented the field of behavioral
economics. One of the greatest partnerships in the history of science, Kahneman
and Tversky’s extraordinary friendship incited a revolution in Big Data studies,
advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government
regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis’s own work possible. In The Undoing
Project, Lewis shows how their Nobel Prize–winning theory of the mind altered
our perception of reality.

FLASH BOYS: A WALL STREET REVOLT

Four years after his #1 bestseller The Big Short, Michael Lewis returns to Wall
Street to report on a high-tech predator stalking the equity markets.

Flash Boys is about a small group of Wall Street guys who figure out that the
U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders and that,
post-financial crisis, the markets have become not more free but less, and more
controlled by the big Wall Street banks. Working at different firms, they come
to this realization separately; but after they discover one another, the flash
boys band together and set out to reform the financial markets. This they do by
creating an exchange in which high-frequency trading—source of the most
intractable problems—will have no advantage whatsoever.

The characters in Flash Boys are fabulous, each completely different from what
you think of when you think “Wall Street guy.” Several have walked away from
jobs in the financial sector that paid them millions of dollars a year. From
their new vantage point they investigate the big banks, the world’s stock
exchanges, and high-frequency trading firms as they have never been
investigated, and expose the many strange new ways that Wall Street generates
profits.

The light that Lewis shines into the darkest corners of the financial world may
not be good for your blood pressure, because if you have any contact with the
market, even a retirement account, this story is happening to you. But in the
end, Flash Boys is an uplifting read. Here are people who have somehow preserved
a moral sense in an environment where you don’t get paid for that; they have
perceived an institutionalized injustice and are willing to go to war to fix it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft revealed Sunday night how a few stock
market insiders are making billions in high-frequency trading. Kroft spoke with
Michael Lewis, the author of "Flash Boys," about how insiders are raising the
costs of stocks for ordinary investors.

BOOMERANG: TRAVELS IN THE NEW THIRD WORLD

“Lewis shows again why he is the leading journalist of his generation.”—Kyle
Smith, Forbes

The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008
was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire
societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not
normally afford to indulge.

Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks
wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many
citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more
German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish.

Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly,
sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency:
oh, those foolish foreigners. But when he turns a merciless eye on California
and Washington, DC, we see that the narrative is a trap baited with humor, and
we understand the reckoning that awaits the greatest and greediest of debtor
nations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENDORSEMENTS AND REVIEWS

THE BIG SHORT: INSIDE THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE

The #1 New York Times bestseller and now a major motion picture: “It is the work
of our greatest financial journalist, at the top of his game. And it's essential
reading.”—Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair

The real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun
doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real
estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit
from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts.
The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by
hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking.

Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with
indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller Liar's Poker.
Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as
compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that
he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRAILER

ENDORSEMENTS AND REVIEWS

“No one writes with more narrative panache about money and finance than Mr.
Lewis....[he] does a nimble job of using his subjects’ stories to explicate the
greed, idiocies and hypocrisies of a system notably lacking in grown-up
supervision....Writing in faintly Tom Wolfe-ian prose, Mr. Lewis does a colorful
job of introducing the lay reader to the Darwinian world of the bond market.” —
Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“Superb: Michael Lewis doing what he does best, illuminating the idiocy, madness
and greed of modern finance. . . . Lewis achieves what I previously imagined
impossible: He makes subprime sexy all over again.” — Andrew Leonard, Salon.com

“One of the best business books of the past two decades.” — Malcolm Gladwell,
New York Times Book Review

“I read Lewis for the same reasons I watch Tiger Woods. I’ll never play like
that. But it’s good to be reminded every now and again what genius looks like.”
— Malcolm Gladwell, New York Times Book Review

HOME GAME: AN ACCIDENTAL GUIDE TO FATHERHOOD

The New York Times bestseller: “Hilarious. No mushy tribute to the joys of
fatherhood, Lewis’ book addresses the good, the bad, and the merely baffling
about having kids.” — Boston Globe

When Michael Lewis became a father, he decided to keep a written record of what
actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children.
This book is that record. But it is also something else: maybe the funniest,
most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded, from the
point of view of the man inside. The remarkable thing about this story isn’t
that Lewis is so unusual. It’s that he is so typical. The only wonder is that
his wife has allowed him to publish it.

PANIC: THE STORY OF MODERN FINANCIAL INSANITY

The New York Times bestseller: A masterful account of today’s money culture,
showing how the underpricing of risk leads to catastrophe.

When it comes to markets, the first deadly sin is greed. In this New York Times
bestseller, Michael Lewis is our jungle guide through five of the most violent
and costly upheavals in recent financial history. With his trademark humor and
brilliant anecdotes, Lewis paints the mood and market factors leading up to each
event, weaves contemporary accounts to show what people thought was happening at
the time, and, with the luxury of hindsight, analyzes what actually happened and
what we should have learned from experience.

ENDORSEMENTS AND REVIEWS

“It’s hard to imagine a more timely book.” — BusinessWeek

“In this enlightening (and frightening) anthology, the Moneyball and Liar’s
Poker author collects the best reporting and analysis of every Wall Street
crisis of the past twenty years. As a source of aid in these troubled times, the
book’s only competition is a bottle of Scotch.” — Details

THE BLIND SIDE

“Lewis has such a gift for storytelling... he writes as lucidly for sports fans
as for those who read him for other reasons.”—Janet Maslin, New York Times

When we first meet Michael Oher is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted
to crack; he does not know his real name, his father, his birthday, or how to
read or write. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white,
Evangelical family plucks him from the streets. Then two great forces alter
Oher: the family's love and the evolution of professional football itself into a
game in which the quarterback must be protected at any cost. Our protagonist
becomes the priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard the
quarterback's greatest vulnerability: his blind side.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENDORSEMENTS AND REVIEWS

“It's not a jock book. It's not a sociology book. It's a storybook about modern
society, ancient virtues, and the power of love, money and talent to do a little
good.” — Jay Hancock, Baltimore Sun

“ The Blind Side is as insightful and moving a meditation on class inequality in
America as I have ever read—although to put it that way, I realize, makes it
sound deadly dull. It isn't.” — Malcolm Gladwell

“Lewis's overview of the evolution of NFL strategy... is not only sound but
shrewder than that of many so-called football insiders who can't see the forest
for the trees.” — Allen Barra, Washington Post

“[Lewis] is advancing a new genre of journalism.” — George F. Will, New York
Times Book Review

“ The Blind Side works on three levels. First as a shrewd analysis of the NFL;
second, as an exposé of the insanity of big-time college football recruiting;
and, third, as a moving portrait of the positive effect that love, family, and
education can have in reversing the path of a life that was destined to be lived
unhappily and, most likely, end badly.” — Wes Lukowsky, Booklist

“Combining a tour de force of sports analysis with a piquant ethnography of the
South's pigskin mania, Lewis probes the fascinating question of whether football
is a matter of brute force or subtle intellect.” — Publishers Weekly

COACH: LESSONS ON THE GAME OF LIFE

There was a turning point in Michael Lewis's life, in a baseball game when he
was fourteen years old. The irascible and often terrifying Coach Fitz put the
ball in his hand with the game on the line and managed to convey such confident
trust in Lewis's ability that the boy had no choice but to live up to it. "I
didn't have words for it then, but I do now: I am about to show the world, and
myself, what I can do."

The coach's message was not simply about winning, but about self-respect,
sacrifice, courage, and endurance. In some ways, and even now, thirty years
later, Lewis still finds himself trying to measure up to what Coach Fitz
expected of him.

MONEYBALL

Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball. In a narrative full
of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael
Lewis follows the low-budget Oakland A's, visionary general manager Billy Beane,
and the strange brotherhood of amateur baseball theorists. They are all in
search of new baseball knowledge—insights that will give the little guy who is
willing to discard old wisdom the edge over big money.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENDORSEMENTS AND REVIEWS

“This delightfully written, lesson-laden book deserves a place of its own in the
Baseball Hall of Fame.” - Forbes

“The best book of the year, [ Moneyball] already feels like the most influential
book on sports ever written. If you're a baseball fan, Moneyball is a must.” -
People

“Lewis has hit another one out of the park.... You need know absolutely nothing
about baseball to appreciate the wit, snap, economy and incisiveness of
[Lewis's] thoughts about it.” - Janet Maslin, New York Times

“Moneyball is the best business book Lewis has written. It may be the best
business book anyone;has written.” - Mark Gerson, Weekly Standard

“By playing Boswell to Beane's Samuel Johnson, Lewis has given us one of the
most enjoyable baseball books in years.” - Lawrence S. Ritter, New York Times
Book Review

“Ebullient, invigorating.... Provides plenty of action, both numerical and
athletic, on the field and in the draft-day war room.” - Lev Grossman, Time

“A journalistic tour de force.” - Richard J. Tofel, Wall Street Journal

“Michael Lewis's beautiful obsession with the idea of value has once again
yielded gold.... Moneyball explains baseball's startling new insight; that for
all our dreams of blasts to the bleachers, the sport's hidden glory lies in not
getting out.” - Garry Trudeau

“I understood about one in four words of Moneyball, and it's still the best and
most engrossing sports book I've read in years. If you know anything about
baseball, you will enjoy it four times as much as I did, which means that you
might explode.” - Nick Hornby, The Believer

NEXT: THE FUTURE JUST HAPPENED

The New York Times bestseller.

With his knowing eye and wicked pen, Michael Lewis reveals how the Internet boom
has encouraged changes in the way we live, work, and think. In the midst of one
of the greatest status revolutions in the history of the world, the Internet has
become a weapon in the hands of revolutionaries. Old priesthoods are crumbling.
In the new order, the amateur is king: fourteen-year-olds manipulate the stock
market and nineteen-year-olds take down the music industry. Unseen forces
undermine all forms of collectivism, from the family to the mass market: one
black box has the power to end television as we know it, and another one may
dictate significant changes in our practice of democracy. With a new afterword
by the author.

THE NEW NEW THING: A SILICON VALLEY STORY

New York Times Bestseller

“A superb book. . . . [Lewis] makes Silicon Valley as thrilling and intelligible
as he made Wall Street in his best-selling Liar’s Poker.” — Time

In the weird glow of the dying millennium, Michael Lewis set out on a safari
through Silicon Valley to find the world’s most important technology
entrepreneur. He found this in Jim Clark, a man whose achievements include the
founding of three separate billion-dollar companies. Lewis also found much more,
and the result—the best- selling book The New New Thing—is an ingeniously
conceived history of the Internet revolution.

THE MONEY CULTURE

The classic warts-and-all portrait of the 1980s financial scene.

The 1980s was the most outrageous and turbulent era in the financial market
since the crash of '29, not only on Wall Street but around the world. Michael
Lewis, as a trainee at Salomon Brothers in New York and as an investment banker
and later financial journalist, was uniquely positioned to chronicle the
ambition and folly that fueled the decade.

“Journalism of a high order. . . . Lewis's insouciance is one of his great

thorough grounding in the world of finance. . . . One of those rare works that
encapsulate and define an era.” — Fortune

“The funniest and most trenchant commentator on the money-mad moguls reshaping
our world today.” — USA Today

LIAR'S POKER

The time was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liar’s
Poker.

Michael Lewis was fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when
he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment
firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to bond
salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold
rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years—a
behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business. From
the frat-boy camaraderie of the forty-first-floor trading room to the killer
instinct that made ambitious young men gamble everything on a high-stakes game
of bluffing and deception, here is Michael Lewis’s knowing and hilarious
insider’s account of an unprecedented era of greed, gluttony, and outrageous
fortune.

THE PREMONITION

New York Times bestseller

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was
terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about.

Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those
among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case
scenarios. Michael Lewis’s taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of
medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response
of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

The characters you will meet in these pages are as fascinating as they are
unexpected. A thirteen-year-old girl’s science project on transmission of an
airborne pathogen develops into a very grown-up model of disease control. A
local public-health officer uses her worm’s-eye view to see what the CDC misses,
and reveals great truths about American society. A secret team of dissenting
doctors, nicknamed the Wolverines, has everything necessary to fight the
pandemic: brilliant backgrounds, world-class labs, prior experience with the
pandemic scares of bird flu and swine flu...everything, that is, except official
permission to implement their work.

Michael Lewis is not shy about calling these people heroes for their refusal to
follow directives that they know to be based on misinformation and bad science.
Even the internet, as crucial as it is to their exchange of ideas, poses a risk
to them. They never know for sure who else might be listening in.

GOING INFINITE: THE RISE AND FALL OF A NEW TYCOON

From the #1 best-selling author of The Big Short and Flash Boys, the story of
FTX’s spectacular collapse and the enigmatic founder at its center.

When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world’s youngest
billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small
countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically
overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo
shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he
played video games on the side?

In Going Infinite Lewis sets out to answer this question, taking readers into
the mind of Bankman-Fried, whose rise and fall offers an education in
high-frequency trading, cryptocurrencies, philanthropy, bankruptcy, and the
justice system. Both psychological portrait and financial roller-coaster ride,
Going Infinite is Michael Lewis at the top of his game, tracing the mind-bending
trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by
his own—until it all came undone.

Michael Lewis has published many New York Times bestselling books on various
subjects. His most recent works are Going Infinite, The Premonition, The Fifth
Risk, The Undoing Project, Flash Boys, and The Big Short. The Blind Side,
published in 2006, tells the story of Michael Oher, a poor, illiterate
African-American kid living on the streets of Memphis whose life is transformed
after he is taken in by white Evangelical Christians. Before that he wrote
Moneyball, a book ostensibly about baseball but also about the way markets value
people. Both of his books about sports became movies, nominated for Academy
Awards, as did his book about the 2008 financial crisis, The Big Short. His
other works include Boomerang;The New New Thing, about Silicon Valley during the
Internet boom; Coach, about the transformative powers of his own high school
baseball coach; Losers, about the 1996 Presidential campaign; and Liar’s Poker,
a Wall Street story based in part on his own experience working as a bond
salesman for Salomon Brothers.

Mr. Lewis is a columnist for Bloomberg View and a contributing writer to
Audible. His articles have also appeared in Vanity Fair, The New York Times
Magazine, The New Yorker, Gourmet, Slate, Sports Illustrated, Foreign Affairs,
and Poetry Magazine. He has served as editor and columnist for the British
weekly The Spectator and as senior editor and campaign correspondent for The New
Republic. He has filmed and narrated short pieces for ABC-TV’s “Nightline;”
created and presented a four part documentary on the social consequences of the
internet for the British Broadcasting Corporation; and recorded stories for the
American public radio show, This American Life.

Mr. Lewis grew up in New Orleans and remains deeply interested and involved in
the city. He holds a bachelor’s degree in art history from Princeton and a
master’s degree in economics from the London School of Economics. He lives in
Berkeley, California, with his wife, Tabitha Soren, and their children. In 2009
he published Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood, about his attempts to
raise them.

THE PREMONITION

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was
terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about.

Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those
among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case
scenarios. Michael Lewis’s taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of
medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response
of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

The characters you will meet in these pages are as fascinating as they are
unexpected. A thirteen-year-old girl’s science project on transmission of an
airborne pathogen develops into a very grown-up model of disease control. A
local public-health officer uses her worm’s-eye view to see what the CDC misses,
and reveals great truths about American society. A secret team of dissenting
doctors, nicknamed the Wolverines...

THE FIFTH RISK

What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have
no idea how it works?

“The election happened,” remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy
secretary of the Department of Energy. “And then there was radio silence.”
Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were
few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the
functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that
had been prepared for them.

Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a
government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital
programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce
Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over
at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there
will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before
terrorists do.

THE COMING STORM

Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis… Weather can be deadly–especially when it strikes
without warning. Millions of Americans could soon find themselves at the mercy
of violent weather if the public data behind lifesaving storm alerts gets
privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original feature, New York
Times best-selling author and journalist Michael Lewis delivers hard-hitting
research on not-so-random weather data–and how Washington plans to release it.
He also digs deep into the lives of two scientists who revolutionized climate
predictions, bringing warning systems to previously unimaginable levels of
accuracy. One is Kathy Sullivan, a gifted scientist among the first women in
space; the other, D.J. Patil, is a trickster-turned-mathematician and a
political adviser. Most urgently, Lewis’s narrative reveals the potential cost
of putting a price tag on information with the potential to save lives, raising
questions about balancing public service with profits in an ethically-ambiguous
atmosphere.

THE UNDOING PROJECT: A FRIENDSHIP THAT CHANGED OUR MINDS

"Brilliant. . . . Lewis has given us a spectacular account of two great men who
faced up to uncertainty and the limits of human reason.”
—William Easterly, Wall Street Journal

Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a
series of breathtakingly original papers that invented the field of behavioral
economics. One of the greatest partnerships in the history of science, Kahneman
and Tversky’s extraordinary friendship incited a revolution in Big Data studies,
advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government
regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis’s own work possible. In The Undoing
Project, Lewis shows how their Nobel Prize–winning theory of the mind altered
our perception of reality.

FLASH BOYS: A WALL STREET REVOLT

Four years after his #1 bestseller The Big Short, Michael Lewis returns to Wall
Street to report on a high-tech predator stalking the equity markets.

Flash Boys is about a small group of Wall Street guys who figure out that the
U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders and that,
post-financial crisis, the markets have become not more free but less, and more
controlled by the big Wall Street banks. Working at different firms, they come
to this realization separately; but after they discover one another, the flash
boys band together and set out to reform the financial markets. This they do by
creating an exchange in which high-frequency trading—source of the most
intractable problems—will have no advantage whatsoever.

BOOMERANG: TRAVELS IN THE NEW THIRD WORLD

“Lewis shows again why he is the leading journalist of his generation.”—Kyle
Smith, Forbes

The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008
was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire
societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not
normally afford to indulge.

Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks
wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many
citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more
German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish.

Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly,
sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable
complacency...

THE BIG SHORT: INSIDE THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE

The #1 New York Times Bestseller and now a major motion picture: "It is the work
of our greatest financial journalist, at the top of his game. And it's essential
reading."—Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair

The real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun
doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real
estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit
from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts.
The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by
hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking.

Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with
indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller Liar's Poker.
Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as
compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that
he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.

HOME GAME: AN ACCIDENTAL GUIDE TO FATHERHOOD

The New York Times bestseller: “Hilarious. No mushy tribute to the joys of
fatherhood, Lewis’ book addresses the good, the bad, and the merely baffling
about having kids.”—Boston Globe

When Michael Lewis became a father, he decided to keep a written record of what
actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children.
This book is that record. But it is also something else: maybe the funniest,
most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded, from the
point of view of the man inside. The remarkable thing about this story isn’t
that Lewis is so unusual. It’s that he is so typical. The only wonder is that
his wife has allowed him to publish it.

PANIC: THE STORY OF MODERN FINANCIAL INSANITY

The New York Times bestseller

A masterful account of today’s money culture, showing how the underpricing of
risk leads to catastrophe.

When it comes to markets, the first deadly sin is greed. In this New York Times
bestseller, Michael Lewis is our jungle guide through five of the most violent
and costly upheavals in recent financial history. With his trademark humor and
brilliant anecdotes, Lewis paints the mood and market factors leading up to each
event, weaves contemporary accounts to show what people thought was happening at
the time, and, with the luxury of hindsight, analyzes what actually happened and
what we should have learned from experience.

THE BLIND SIDE

The book behind the Academy award-winning film starring Sandra Bullock and Tim
McGraw—over one million copies sold.

When we first meet him, Michael Oher is one of thirteen children by a mother
addicted to crack; he does not know his real name, his father, his birthday, or
how to read and write. He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white,
Evangelical family plucks him from the streets. Then two great forces alter
Oher: the family's love and the evolution of professional football into a game
where the quarterback must be protected at any cost. Our protagonist becomes the
priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard the
quarterback's greatest vulnerability, his blind side.

COACH: LESSONS ON THE GAME OF LIFE

"[Lewis] has such a gift for storytelling."--New York Times

There was a turning point in Michael Lewis's life, in a baseball game when he
was fourteen years old. The irascible and often terrifying Coach Fitz put the
ball in his hand with the game on the line and managed to convey such confident
trust in Lewis's ability that the boy had no choice but to live up to it. "I
didn't have words for it then, but I do now: I am about to show the world, and
myself, what I can do."

The coach's message was not simply about winning, but about self-respect,
sacrifice, courage, and endurance. In some ways, and even now, thirty years
later, Lewis still finds himself trying to measure up to what Coach Fitz
expected of him.

MONEYBALL

"This delightfully written, lesson-laden book deserves a place of its own in the
Baseball Hall of Fame."—Forbes

Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball. In a narrative full
of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael
Lewis follows the low-budget Oakland A's, visionary general manager Billy Beane,
and the strange brotherhood of amateur baseball theorists. They are all in
search of new baseball knowledge—insights that will give the little guy who is
willing to discard old wisdom the edge over big money.

NEXT: THE FUTURE JUST HAPPENED

The New York Times bestseller

"His book is a wake-up call at a time when many believe the net was a flash in
the pan."—BusinessWeek

With his knowing eye and wicked pen, Michael Lewis reveals how the Internet boom
has encouraged changes in the way we live, work, and think. In the midst of one
of the greatest status revolutions in the history of the world, the Internet has
become a weapon in the hands of revolutionaries. Old priesthoods are crumbling.
In the new order, the amateur is king: fourteen-year-olds manipulate the stock
market and nineteen-year-olds take down the music industry. Unseen forces
undermine all forms of collectivism, from the family to the mass market: one
black box has the power to end television as we know it, and another one may
dictate significant changes in our practice of democracy. With a new afterword
by the author.

THE NEW NEW THING: A SILICON VALLEY STORY

New York Times Bestseller

“A superb book. . . . [Lewis] makes Silicon Valley as thrilling and intelligible
as he made Wall Street in his best-selling Liar’s Poker.” — Time

In the weird glow of the dying millennium, Michael Lewis set out on a safari
through Silicon Valley to find the world’s most important technology
entrepreneur. He found this in Jim Clark, a man whose achievements include the
founding of three separate billion-dollar companies. Lewis also found much more,
and the result—the best- selling book The New New Thing—is an ingeniously
conceived history of the Internet revolution.

THE MONEY CULTURE

The classic warts-and-all portrait of the 1980s financial scene.

The 1980s was the most outrageous and turbulent era in the financial market
since the crash of '29, not only on Wall Street but around the world. Michael
Lewis, as a trainee at Salomon Brothers in New York and as an investment banker
and later financial journalist, was uniquely positioned to chronicle the
ambition and folly that fueled the decade.

LIAR'S POKER

The time was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liar’s
Poker.

Michael Lewis was fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when
he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment
firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to bond
salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold
rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years—a
behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business. From
the frat-boy camaraderie of the forty-first-floor trading room to the killer
instinct that made ambitious young men gamble everything on a high-stakes game
of bluffing and deception, here is Michael Lewis’s knowing and hilarious
insider’s account of an unprecedented era of greed, gluttony, and outrageous
fortune.
