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.
A news-breaking account of the global stock market’s subterranean battles, Dark Pools portrays the rise 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 was Josh Levine, an idealistic programming genius who dreamed of wresting control of the market from the big exchanges that, again and 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 over time 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 called dark pools and a new species of trading machines that could think and that seemed, ominously, to be slipping the control of 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 can’t predict what they’ll do next.

This author obviously understands how stock markets work but does not show the same level of understanding when it comes to computers, which make up about half of his subject matter in this book. When the topic goes to trading, he’s got solid information with realistic example numbers. When the topic turns to computers however, he’s full of meaningless quips like, “a digital hall of mirrors” which is journalist-speak for, “I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, but I want it to sound cool.” He speaks of computer magic with all the wonder of a late 1990s popular magazine article. If you can overlook the cringe then it’s a pretty cool book though.
