Jim Simons is the greatest moneymaker in modern financial history.
His record bests those of legendary investors, including Warren
Buffett, George Soros and Ray Dalio. Yet Simons and his strategies
are shrouded in mystery. The financial industry has long craved a
look inside Simons's secretive hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies
and veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman delivers
the goods. After a legendary career as a mathematician and a stint
breaking Soviet codes, Simons set out to conquer financial markets
with a radical approach. Simons hired physicists, mathematicians
and computer scientists - most of whom knew little about finance -
to amass piles of data and build algorithms hunting for the deeply
hidden patterns in global markets. Experts scoffed, but Simons and
his colleagues became some of the richest in the world, their
strategy of creating mathematical models and crunching data
embraced by almost every industry today. As Renaissance became a
major player in the financial world, its executives began exerting
influence on other areas. Simons became a major force in scientific
research, education and Democratic politics, funding Hilary
Clinton's presidential campaign. While senior executive Robert
Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump
presidency - he placed Steve Bannon in the campaign, funded Trump's
victorious 2016 effort and backed alt-right publication Breitbart.
Mercer also impacted the success of the Brexit campaign as he made
significant investments in Cambridge Anatlytica. For all his
prescience, Simons failed to anticipate how Mercer's activity would
impact his firm and the world. In this fast-paced narrative,
Zuckerman examines how Simons launched a quantitative revolution on
Wall Street, and reveals the impact that Simons, the quiet
billionaire king of the quants, has had on worlds well beyond
finance.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
