Lewis is a great writer – Liar’s Poker rather ahead of it’s time by about a decade.

Other works include Moneyball (Norton, 2003), an examination of baseball that focuses on the way markets value people; The New New Thing (Norton, 2000), about Silicon Valley during the Internet boom; Losers (Vintage, 2000), about the 1996 presidential campaign; and Liar’s Poker (Norton, 1989), based in part on Lewis’s experience working as an investment banker on Wall Street.
