That's one of the most wonderful things I've ever read.
Michael Lewis is such an odd writer. He started out as a writer entranced and bamboozled by investment brokers and touts, and recently crashed and burned in publishing a hagiographic book about Sam Bankman-Fried just as SBF spontaneously combusted. I haven't read any of his finance-worship books, because it's not at all an area interest for me. But I read The Fifth Risk, and stunningly good book. (This essay clearly comes from the same well of interest.) So then I read The Premonition, his COVID/public health book, and was extremely frustrated by its novelishness and total lack of reference.
