I heard about this on Gimlet's Reply All podcast[1] last week. It's a great overview of what went down with Evan Ratliff himself. Immediately after listening I bought the book from Amazon. I'm only a few pages in and there's already so much more to the story which is great as I found it really fascinating. It's a big book, so be prepared for some good bed time reading!
