What if the key to unlocking financial markets wasn't instinct or experience, but raw data and machine intelligence? John A. Overdeck saw the future of investing before Wall Street even knew it was changing. A math prodigy who won silver at the International Mathematics Olympiad, Overdeck didn't follow the traditional path of a trader-he rewrote the playbook entirely. With a mind wired for numbers and a relentless drive for innovation, he co-founded Two Sigma, a hedge fund that would go on to manage over $60 billion using cutting-edge artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning. **This book takes you inside that journey-**from Overdeck's early days as a math-obsessed kid in Maryland to his rise as a Wall Street visionary. You'll see how he helped Amazon scale its data-driven customer strategies, how he disrupted finance with algorithmic trading, and how he turned Two Sigma into a powerhouse that changed how money moves across the globe.

Packed with insights into the world of quant finance, AI-driven investing, and the personal challenges that come with extreme success, this book is for anyone who wants to understand how data is shaping the future-not just of Wall Street, but of everything.
