It is difficult not to feel some FOMO after reading the Antisocial Network. Based on the crazy true story of how the subreddit WallStreetBets was the primary driver in taking down one of the biggest hedge funds on Wall Street. What might a man who loves cats (& runs a sub 4 minute mile), a registered nurse, a recent high school graduate and a pet food entrepreneur have in common? THEY ALL LOVE GME!
This true story is told from the eyes of numerous characters from a diverse range of backgrounds all united around the shared passion for Gamestop and ultimately, going toe to toe with the hedge funds.
I feel Ben Mezrich's primary goal with this book was speed of publication, the Gamestop fiasco only is still recent news but it is the perfect story for a movie and I am sure Ben wanted first mover advantage. Aside from some unnecessary descriptive paragraphs, the booking is still a thrilling journey to the chaos the the Gamestop short Squeeze. A battle against the establishment.
