Our take
AI-draftedOsnos gets access most business journalists don't — disgraced moguls in a private support group, the architects of the largest Ponzi scheme in Hollywood history, tech founders convinced their fortunes prove their broader superiority. Kirkus called it maddening precisely because it's so well reported, and other critics single out Osnos's ear for the small, self-justifying details the ultra-wealthy let slip.
In the press
“a thoroughly reported and spryly narrated—and deeply maddening—tour of extreme wealth”
Kirkus Reviews“the jump from believing yourself worthy of an enormous fortune to believing yourself broadly superior because of it is not a hard one to make”
