A chilling look at the rise of artificial intelligence in the financial markets

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.

'Scott Patterson has the ability to see things you and I don't notice.' Nassim Nicholas Taleb, New York Times bestselling author of Antifragile, Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan

Reviews

An invaluable piece of timely journalism that should be read by regulators and anyone with a cent in the stock market.
*Financial Times*

[A] gripping, excellent expose
*PQ Magazine*

A great read … and raises an important question: could the trading machines destroy the capital markets?
*Reuters UK*

As an exposition of Wall Street nerdcraft, Dark Pools truly delivers ... Patterson's tales of ingenuity and cunning read like a spy novel
*Sunday Business Post*

Financial journalist Scott Patterson looks at the real world of AI trading machines and crafts a story equally as riveting
