About this book
Jim Simons was a codebreaker and award-winning geometer before he decided that markets might be readable as patterns rather than stories. The hedge fund he built hired astronomers, linguists and physicists instead of traders, and produced returns that outran every famous investor of the era while almost nobody outside the firm understood how. This account follows the people, the feuds and the models behind that secrecy, and the political consequences that trailed the money. Reported with a journalist's eye for character, it works equally as a business narrative and as a portrait of obsessive problem-solving.
