Mezrich, Ben, 1969-

The antisocial network : the GameStop short squeeze and the ragtag group of amateur traders that brought Wall Street to its knees / Ben Mezrich. - First edition. - ix, 289 pages ; 24 cm

"Beat-by-beat account of how a loosely affiliated group of private investors and internet trolls on a subreddit called WallStreetBets took down one of the biggest hedge funds on Wall Street"-- Mezrich offers a gripping, beat-by-beat account of how a loosely affiliated 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. 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. WallStreetBets was a joke, until some members noticed an opportunity in GameStop-- and rode a rocket ship to tens of millions of dollars in earnings overnight. -- adapted from jacket
