About this listen
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.

Much better than Flash Boys
As a participant in the field of automated trading over the last 15 years, I found this far more balanced, interesting, accurate and less emotive than "Flash Boys".

A hagiography of prophets of doom
An insightful and entertaining read of the world of finance.
I couldn’t help but feel like the author adored and sanctified the architects of doom. He describes their brilliance and endless greed with the same tone of praise.
He gets some of the technical aspects wrong, but covers enough for a layman to understand, after all he is a a financial journalist and not a quantitative analyst.
All in all, it’s one of the best books going on the issue.

Not what I expected, but great.
I'd anticipated that this book would be about dark pools and hedge funds gaming the market. It's not, but it's better than that, it's really the story of how high frequency trading came to be and an inside look at some of the key characters that revolutionised market trading. I loved it, fascinating stuff all the way through.

Educational insight
An interesting insight into the very technical world of quant trading that so many retail day traders struggle to understand. A great read if you know nothing of algo trading.
