Lewis was born in New Orleans and attended Princeton University, from which he graduated with a degree in art history. After attending the London School of Economics, he began a career on Wall Street during the 1980s as a bond salesman at Salomon Brothers. The experience prompted him to write his first book, ''Liar's Poker'' (1989). Fourteen years later, Lewis wrote ''Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game'' (2003), in which he investigated the success of Billy Beane and the Oakland Athletics. His 2006 book ''The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game'' was his first to be adapted into a film, ''The Blind Side'' (2009). In 2010, he released ''The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine''. The film adaptation of ''Moneyball'' was released in 2011, followed by ''The Big Short'' in 2015.
Lewis's books have won two ''Los Angeles Times'' Book Prizes and several have reached number one on the ''New York Times Bestsellers Lists'', including his most recent book, ''Going Infinite'' (2023). Provided by Wikipedia
