Incredibly current submitted by lid on July 12, 2014, 11:38pm This book discusses some of the issues with high frequency trading that we face today, and includes source material from as recent as late 2013.

A great read. Lewis once again illuminates a corner of our society - in this case electronic trading - and we find the room where we store our most precious resources is full of holes through which an infestation has taken hold.
It's good to know that there are people out there that do not allow greed to corrupt their sense of what is right and wrong. And it's good to know people have champions like Lewis in their corner.
