Description

A news-breaking account of the global stock market’s subterranean battles, Dark Pools portrays the upward thrust of the “bots”–artificially intelligent systems that execute trades in milliseconds and use the cover of darkness to out-maneuver the humans who’ve created them.

In the beginning used to be Josh Levine, an idealistic programming genius who dreamed of wresting keep watch over of the market from the big exchanges that, over and over again, gave the giant institutions an advantage over the little guy. Levine created a computerized trading hub named Island where small traders swapped stocks, and through the years his invention morphed into a global electronic stock market that sent trillions in capital through a vast jungle of fiber-optic cables.  

By then, the market that Levine had sought to fix had turned upside down, birthing secretive exchanges known as dark pools and a new species of trading machines that could think, and that appeared, ominously, to be slipping the keep watch over in their human masters.

Dark Pools is the fascinating story of how global markets have been hijacked by trading robots–many so self-directed that humans cannot predict what they’re going to do next.
