Narrated by Timothy McKean, The sea shanties, YOLO's, and red bandanas aren't even half of the GameStop story.
Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of the paperback edition of Power to the Players: The Real GameStop Story and Why It’s Only Getting Started by Rob Smat. This book is published by Histria Perspectives, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding works of non-fiction in a variety of fields.
“While both ‘Dumb Money’ and ‘Power to the Players’ are non-fiction, only the latter features a plot that’s not forced to fit into a two-hour runtime.”
“There are hundreds of anonymous folks whose words are crucial to every twist and turn of this story,” he said. “If the good people at r/Superstonk don’t like my book, there’s no way anyone else will, so this is for them.”
Authors, journalists, and filmmakers have all attempted to tell stories about “dumb money” or “a revolution that wasn’t,” but every rendition has fallen short of the truth.
Witness firsthand the real and utterly ludicrous hive-mind that brought Wall Street to its knees in January 2021, and find out why GameStop was only the beginning of an even more unprecedented retail contagion, one which will challenge everything you think you know about our markets (all over again).
In a digital world of frequently deleted, revised, and buried information, accurately piecing together events as they occurred is nearly impossible.
While other media may have succeeded in secondary recaps of the GameStop phenomenon, author Rob Smat delves into the primary source material, having lived it himself.
Most importantly of all, find out why the GameStop phenomenon isn’t some pandemic-era fad, but instead a very real and continuing battle with billions of dollars still hanging in the balance.
“I feel like I finally have a voice in this thing.”
“Really awesome shit.
Looking forward to reading this.”
