" Stealing the Future nails Sam Bankman-Fried for what he truly is: an overly-confident, ineffective and amoral narcissist." - Paul Dylan-Ennis, Assistant Professor, School of Business, University College Dublin "Sam Bankman-Fried was Bernie Madoff cosplaying as Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory . Too many people who should have known better fell for his act, enabling one of the largest financial frauds in American history. The inimitable David Z. Morris offers a high-minded take on this tragic farce, exploring the wide-eyed philosophies that SBF used (and perhaps twisted) to rationalize his destructive behavior." - Marc Hochstein, Vice President for Research, Galaxy Digital; Former Deputy Editor-in-Chief, CoinDesk " Stealing the Future explores the past to explain a present beset by futurists. It's a plea for us to resist that fraud, and indeed, the grander fraud at the core of our society today: that the elites know better than us." - Josh Cincinnati, President of the Interchain Foundation and Former Executive Director of the Zcash Foundation, cypherpunk and privacy advocate.
