The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution by Gregory ZuckermanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hooter: The story behind the men of RenTech - the company that probably led the banner of Quant trading
The title is a misnomer as it isn't so much about Jim Simons nor what he did to launch the Quant Revolution except the highs and lows of Renaissance Tech (RenTec) and the people behind it and their politics. The development of the models get their cameo but maybe I was expecting more.
I guess the NDAs probably played a spoiler in going in deeper on what made RenTec tick but we surely get an idea of the whos helped it tick. If you enjoy a good biography, then this is that.
