My first Michael Lewis book! Short, interesting enough, wish we could now hear more about what actually happened in the institutions once the Trump admin took over more, though. Didn't love it, didn't hate it, easy 3/5.

Michael Lewis is an amazing writer because he made me interested in the Departments of Energy, Agriculture and Commerce through this book.

Reminded me a lot of [a:Malcolm Gladwell|1439|Malcolm Gladwell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1564001739p2/1439.jpg] - in the best possible way. The books is filled with amazing stories of anonymous people (I specially remember the story of Art Allen at the end of the book) and the mind blowing work they do at the government. That part of the book was filled with hope, entrepreneurship spirit and even magic. But when you see the actual context and destruction the Trump administration brought with its ignorance, arrogance and greed, you scared to think all of this could be delayed in a major way.
This is a wonderful short book that you can easily read on a weekend. Is the 1st book I have read by Michael Lewis and I can't wait for the next one.

I found this to be really interesting but I found the structure felt quite random and the ending the same. I wish it had more cohesion.
