Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the WorldThis is the story of how and where the tech bro mindset was born. I was at first intimidated by the size of this thing and the breadth of its subtitle.

Bill James challenged common wisdom and turned us into more intelligent baseball fans with his Baseball Abstract series back in the 1980s. I could have recommended any one of the many books he wrote, but this book is a terrific summary of his impact on the game as retold by “colleagues, critics, competitors, and fans.” Who better to describe how important he was to the game than those who were most affected by him? I consider this a great entry point to digging into his terrific work.

Can you just tell me what your life has been like the past couple months? Michael LEWIS: Um, surprisingly controversial. This material just landed in my lap.

Cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried was a multibillionaire before the age of 30. Lionized by an adoring financial media, in the few hours he wasn’t working or sleeping in his office, he hung out with star athletes and supermodels, and was pursued by politicians eager to latch on to some of his largesse.

Which is surprising, because Bankman-Fried is no longer a lauded cryptocurrency billionaire but an alleged con man, on trial for seven counts of fraud and money laundering.
