New Orleans-born Michael Lewis is considered one of the most influential nonfiction writers of our time, penning the dark corners of the financial world and the intersections of human behavior with the economy. After studying at Princeton and the London School of Economics, Lewis started working as an investment banker on Wall Street and turned this experience into his first book, Liar's Poker, published in 1989. This striking work, which describes finance from an insider's perspective, introduced it to a wide readership. The work that attracted the most mass interest from Lewis was Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. This book, which examines the data-driven management approach of the Oakland Athletics baseball team, was adapted into a movie in 2011 under the name The Art of Winning, starring Brad Pitt. Blind Spot, which was brought to the big screen from another Lewis book, reached millions of viewers with its 2009 movie. The Big Short, which focuses on the 2008 mortgage crisis, was adapted into a movie in 2015 under the name Büyük Short and had a wide impact. Lewis, who continues to work as an editor at Vanity Fair magazine, also continues to produce books that explain economic crises, political turmoil and social breaking points in depth. His writing about the pandemic process with The Premonition and the collapse of the cryptocurrency world with Going Infinite once again reveals his determination to engrave current events into history.
