the coming storm (audiobook)
an audible original. narrated by michael lewis.
Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis… the weather can be deadly, especially when it strikes without warning. Millions of Americans could soon find themselves at the mercy of violent weather if the public data behind life-saving storm warnings is privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original article, New York Times bestselling author and journalist Michael Lewis offers a hard-hitting investigation into not-so-random weather data, and how Washington plans to release it. He also delves into the lives of two scientists who revolutionized weather forecasting, taking warning systems to previously unimaginable levels of accuracy. one is kathy sullivan, a gifted scientist among the first women in space; the other, d.j. Patil, is a trickster turned mathematician and political advisor. More urgently, Lewis’ narrative reveals the potential cost of putting a price tag on potentially life-saving information, raising questions about the balance between public service and profit in an ethically ambiguous atmosphere.
