Idk why people insist on authors only writing stories that they want to read. FTX is a monumental disaster and the story behind it desperately needs to be told precisely because it's such a big part of our culture. Based on Lewis' history with The Big Short, etc. he's perfectly positioned to write that account.

It's been so wild how many people I've met over the last 4-5 years who made the exact same kinds of comments about crypto that the bankers were saying about housing finance back in 2006.
