Publisher's Summary

Dark Pools is the pacy, revealing, and profoundly chilling tale of how global markets have been hijacked by trading robots – many so self-directed that humans can’t predict what they’ll do next.

It’s the story of the blisteringly intelligent computer programmers behind the rise of these ‘bots’. And it’s a timely warning that as artificial intelligence gradually takes over, we could be on the verge of global meltdown.

Poor volume control of narration

I’ve had to turn up the volume very high on multiple devices to hear. Then as you are intently trying to listen, the narrator while quoting, yells many of these quotes which makes this book very stressful to listen to. Im still on chapter 12 and think that I will move on to something else. Too bad.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
