A miniseries based on the book is in development

Ever since he was a kid kicking a scuffed ball in the streets of East London, Gary Stevenson dreamed of something big. Then he entered a maths competition called the trading
game. The prize? A ticket to a new life. Gary became the youngest trader at Citibank, one of the world's largest financial institutions, and against all odds, he was soon making deals worth billions of dollars. Daily. But the year was 2008, and Gary was making money by betting on millions of people becoming poor—millions of people just like the ones he grew up with.

The Trading Game is a shocking, unvarnished, and thrilling testimony about the dark corners of the intoxicating world of traders, from someone who survived the game.

‘An unbelievably important and timely book… a sort of Wolf of Wall Street with a moral compass, it exposes the spiritual emptiness of the systems and processes that control us and limit our humanity.’
Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting
