Review Quotes:
Review Quotes: Lewis at his best. . . .You could easily make a savage satire on the crazy snakes and ladders of the crypto wild west described in Going Infinite. But if you have a feeling for the lives of these young people, it is a tragedy too. Whatever the precise proportions inside Sam Bankman-Fried of sincerity and moral seriousness versus malignity, deception and self-deception, I would defy anyone to read Lewis's book and conclude its subject to be a grifter.--Jesse Armstrong, writer and creator of HBO's Succession, Times Literary Supplement Review Quotes: Going Infinite is a stupefyingly pleasurable book to read. It's perfectly paced, extremely funny, and fills in many gaps in a story that has been subjected to an unholy amount of reporting... What he began with Moneyball has come into full flower with Going Infinite. Lewis has surveyed a landscape taken by convention as settled and found it destabilized, at least here and there, by uneven and unreliable information. Perhaps Lewis's book should encourage an update, however minuscule, in our own priors.--Gideon Lewis-Kraus "The New Yorker" Review Quotes: Leave it to [Lewis] to have unfettered access to one of the best financial stories to come around in years.... There are, of course, the priceless anecdotes from the book... including S.B.F.'s inane conversation with Anna Wintour about whether he would attend and potentially sponsor the annual Met Gala--"Yup!"--and the revelations about his relationship with Ellison, the consequences of which are now playing out in court.... Going Infinite, is a delightful read, highly entertaining, often insightful and amusing. It's a character study of one of the most notorious financial figures of our time.... [Lewis] does not attempt in any way to try to figure out how S.B.F. pulled off what he is accused of doing, other than by revealing that he is one strange dude, lacking empathy, and capable, apparently, of fleecing billions from his customers.--Willam Cohan "Puck" Review Quotes: Michael Lewis has an uncanny instinct for a big story, and is now right in the thick of the action again... Reading Lewis can feel like being a passenger in an expertly piloted bobsleigh. You're moving so fast down the mountain, but you know you're going to be delivered safe and sound - hot chocolate waiting at the bottom. There is no need to stress, only to thrill to the scenery as it hurtles past.-- "New Statesman" Review Quotes: Michael Lewis is the world's finest financial storyteller... Going Infinite is at its best in describing Bankman-Fried's rise... Lewis is equally sharp on how the effective altruism movement shifted its priorities, from donating to prevent disease and mortality in the global south to worrying about (putative) trillions of human lives across the galaxy in the distant future.--Steven Poole "Daily Telegraph" Review Quotes: Going Infinite is wildly entertaining, surprising multiple times on pretty much every page, but it adds up to a sad story, even a tragedy, for its central character and for all the people who lost so much thanks to his actions... Lewis tries to answer the first question he was asked about Bankman-Fried: who was this guy? The question of his guilt or innocence Lewis leaves to the criminal justice system. I think that's good practice, given that the trial is happening right now. For what it's worth, I see no contradiction between the person described in Going Infinite and the things SBF is accused of having done. In fact I think the book makes it easier to understand how and why he did what he allegedly did.--John Lanchester "London Review of Books"
