520    "From one of our most innovative and celebrated authors, 
       the definitive take on the wildest story of the year— the 
       David-vs.-Goliath GameStop short squeeze, a tale of 
       fortunes won and lost overnight that may end up changing 
       Wall Street forever. Bestselling author Ben Mezrich offers
       a gripping, beat-by-beat account of how a loosely 
       affiliate group of private investors and internet trolls 
       on a subreddit called WallStreetBets took down one of the 
       biggest hedge funds on Wall Street, firing the first shot 
       in a revolution that threatens to upend the establishment.
       It's the story of financial titans like Gabe Plotkin of 
       hedge fund Melvin Capital, one of the most respected and 
       staid funds on the Street, billionaires like Elon Musk, 
       Steve Cohen, Mark Cuban, Robinhood co-CEOs Vlad Tenev and 
       Baiju Bhatt, and Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities. Over 
       the course of four incredible days, each in their own way 
       must reckon with a formidable force they barely understand,
       let alone saw coming: everyday men and women on 
       WallStreetBets like nurse Kim Campbell, college student 
       Jeremy Poe, and the enigmatic Keith 'RoaringKitty' Gill, 
       whose unfiltered livestream videos captivated a new 
       generation of stock market enthusiasts. The unlikely focus
       of the battle: GameStop, a flailing brick-and-mortar 
       dinosaur catering to teenagers and outsiders that had 
       somehow held on as the world rapidly moved online. At 
       first, WallStreetBets was a joke— a meme-filled, 
       freewheeling place to share shoot-the-moon investment tips,
       laugh about big losses, and post diamond hand emojis. 
       Until some members noticed an opportunity in GameStop— and
       rode a rocket ship to tens of millions of dollars in 
       earnings overnight. In thrilling, pulse-pounding prose, 
       'The Antisocial Network' offers a fascinating, never-
       before-seen glimpse at the outsize personalities, dizzying
       swings, corporate drama, and underestimated American 
       heroes and heroines who captivated the nation during one 
       of the most volatile weeks in financial history. It's the 
       amazing story of what just happened— and where we go from 
       here." --|cDescription provided by publisher.
