Last week, we featured an interview with John Markoff, the legendary New York Times Silicon Valley correspondent. If Markoff has an East Coast equivalent, it's Steven Levy, the former Newsweek technology correspondent and author of best-selling books about hacking, crypto, Google and Facebook. Levy is now Wired's editor-at-large and when I visited Levy at New York City's glittering Conde Nast offices, we talked about what has and hasn't surprised him about the last twenty years of tech history and why he may be the last journalist with the good fortune of being paid to write long articles about Microsoft.Steven Levy is Wired's editor at large. The Washington Post has called him “America's premier technology journalist.”For almost four decades Levy has chronicled the digital revolution, its impact on humanity, and the people behind it. He has written the foundational work on computer culture (Hackers, 1984) and with Crypto (2001) the indispensable book on story behind that groundbreaking technology—years before people began gushing about Bitcoin and the blockchain. He has written the definitive books on Facebook, Google, the Macintosh, and the iPod. World-class engineers tell him that they pursued AI after reading his 1992 book Artificial Life. And he currently covers the breadth of tech stories—the good and the disturbing—for WIRED, where he has been a contributor since its inception. Levy's previous positions include founder of Backchannel and chief technology writer and senior editor for Newsweek. His work has also appeared in Rolling Stone, Harper's Magazine, Macworld, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, The New Yorker, and Premiere. Among his honors: PC Magazine named Hackers the best sci-tech book written in the last twenty years. Crypto won the grand e-book prize at the 2001 Frankfurt Book Fair. In the Plex was Amazon's best business book of 2011. In 2008 he was inducted as a SVForum Visionary, alongside Reed Hastings and Diane Greene. (Previous winners include Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, and Vin Cerf.) He has won several Computer Press Association Awards, been finalist for the National Magazine Award and the Loeb Award, winner of a Clarion Award and many others.  His 1988 book, The Unicorn's Secret, was the source material for a two-night NBC miniseries, “The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer.” Levy hails from Philadelphia, where he began his career writing for weekly papers and writing stories for Philadelphia Magazine and the Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine. He wrote extensively on rock music and sports. In 1982, he published a Rolling Stone story on computer hackers that drew him into the world of technology.  He lives in New York City with his wife, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author Teresa Carpenter.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Financial journalist Allan Sloan -- a seven-time winner of business journalism's highest honor, the Loeb Award -- says that while it appears the country can avoid a recession, America can't avoid long-term financial trouble if leaders in Washington can't find a way to compromise and make progress on financial goals. He says the Fitch Ratings downgrade of U.S. credit is a sign that the markets recognize how intractable the country's political divide is. In The Big Interview, Rohan Reddy, director of research at Global X ETFs, talks short-term Treasury investing in a high-rate market with an inverted yield curve, but also touches on other investment themes driving pockets of the market today. In the Market Call, Mike Liss of the American Century Value fund, discusses relative-value investing and the ease of finding reasonable bargains today.

Stephanie Clifford is an investigative journalist and a bestselling novelist. As a New York Times reporter for almost a decade, she covered courts, business and media. She now writes long-form investigations about criminal justice and business for the Times, the New Yorker, The Atlantic, Wired, Elle, Bloomberg Businessweek and other publications. Her accolades include the Loeb Award in investigative reporting; the Deborah Howell Award for Writing She grew up in Seattle and lives in Brooklyn with her family. Country-western star Lillian Waters has lived large: performing in front of packed houses with a chaser of hard partying.  She came of age with the big names—Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette—but by 1980, they are still charting and her career is on shaky ground. Out of the public eye for five years, Lillian's now on a farewell tour, playing honky-tonk bars, backed up by a ragged band comprised of some of her oldest bandmates and some new additions, with no time for rehearsal.  She's also traveling with her secrets, like nursing a diagnosis of cancer that will silence her eventually.  Tired of running from her real history—some of which she rewrote to fit country music stardom, some too deeply buried for her to remember—she's planned her final performance to be in a far corner of Washington state, the place where she was born.  It's time to go home and face her sister Hen, the pain of a terrible betrayal, and the impoverished farm no one knows she came from and left, alone, at age 10. THE FAREWELL TOUR (Harper; On Sale: March 7, 2023; Hardcover) by Stephanie Clifford is a full-throated ballad. It encapsulates two stories: an intimate portrait of the indomitable Lillian and a panoramic of our culture—from the West's near-mythical histories of explorers, loggers, trappers, farmers laid out in textbooks and county fair's Pioneer Days, to the negative spaces where the stories of women are left out. Clifford, a reporter for almost a decade at The New York Times, brings her reporter's skills to conjure the rich and complex story of Lillian Waters, aka Lena Thorsell, the second daughter of two defeated immigrants struggling in a country that promised so much.  She deftly moves between the eras that defined her tart-tongued heroine's life: the Depression and the Second World War; her budding career and the rise of Nashville's male-dominated country music business scene; and the humiliation of aging out in the late 70s.  There are hard choices for Lillian every step of the way:  of her music, her heart, her soul. Clifford weaves a mesmerizing portrait of one woman's creativity, ambition and sacrifices in a business made for men.  As the tour brings Lillian finally home, she is forced to reckon with a tragedy she was not prepared to remember. Clifford asks if we can ever be free of our true history:  she makes us love her heroine for what she chooses to do with hers—an anthem, a chorus, for the West's forgotten women.

In this episode of the Intelligent Investing Podcast, Eric Schleien sits down with WSJ Veteran Reporter, Gregory Zuckerman, to discuss his book "The Man Who Solved The Market: How Jim Simons Launched The Quant Revolution"   Editorial Reviews “Leave it to the Wall Street Journal's Greg Zuckerman to lay open the golden mysteries of quantitative investing. With this fine, humane, and eye-opening book, he's well and truly broken the code.” —James Grant, Grant's Interest Rate Observer “Captivating.” —New York Times   “A compelling read.” —The Economist   “Reads like a delicious page-turning novel.” —Barry Ritholtz, Bloomberg   “One of the most important stories of our time.” —Financial Times   “Zuckerman brings the reader so close to the firm's inner workings that you can almost catch a whiff of the billionaire's Merit cigarette.” —Brandon Kochkodin, Bloomberg “A gripping biography of investment game changer Jim Simons… readers looking to understand how the economy got where it is should eat this up.” —Publishers Weekly "Worthwhile reading for budding plutocrats and numerate investors alike." —Kirkus “Immensely enjoyable.” —Edward O. Thorp, author of A Man for All Markets   “An extremely well-written and engaging book . . . a must read, and a fun one at that.” —Mohamed A. El-Erian, author of The Only Game in Town "Page-turning tale…bravura storytelling." —Gary Shteyngart, author of Lake Success About The Book NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award The unbelievable story of a secretive mathematician who pioneered the era of the algorithm--and made $23 billion doing it.   The Man Who Solved The Market: How Jim Simons Launched The Quant Revolution": Summary Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. No other investor--Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Steve Cohen, or George Soros--can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance's signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66 percent. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion; Simons is worth twenty-three billion dollars. Drawing on unprecedented access to Simons and dozens of current and former employees, Zuckerman, a veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporter, tells the gripping story of how a world-class mathematician and former code breaker mastered the market. Simons pioneered a data-driven, algorithmic approach that's sweeping the world. As Renaissance became a market force, its executives began influencing the world beyond finance. Simons became a major figure in scientific research, education, and liberal politics. Senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency, placing Steve Bannon in the campaign and funding Trump's victorious 2016 effort. Mercer also impacted the campaign behind Brexit. The Man Who Solved the Market is a portrait of a modern-day Midas who remade markets in his own image, but failed to anticipate how his success would impact his firm and his country. It's also a story of what Simons's revolution means for the rest of us.   About Gregory Zuckerman Greg is a Special Writer at The Wall Street Journal, ​a 20-year veteran of the paper and a three-time winner of the Gerald Loeb award — the highest honor in business journalism.
