About this listen
Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis…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 lifesaving storm alerts gets privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original, New York Times best-selling author and journalist Michael Lewis delivers hard-hitting research on not-so-random weather data—and how Washington plans to release it. He also digs deep into the lives of two scientists who revolutionized climate predictions, bringing 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 a political adviser. Most urgently, Lewis’s narrative reveals the potential cost of putting a price tag on information that could save lives. Please note The Fifth Risk includes the entirety of The Coming Storm.

Credit where it’s due
Without a doubt, kudos to the National Weather Service for their unwavering efforts of saving lives. Who better than Michael Lewis to write & narrate about them. This short story was so good that I want a full-sized book about this topic

Could have been more than this
Nice audio book that could have been a lot more. The primary focus is around data and the weather but there are bits and pieces of the story of managing consumer perception and the politics behind data that are very interesting. This could actually be a couple of chapters in a larger book about how to make people believe in data and how to make organisations understand the power behind it.

It's different
Nice book about a different subject. Particulars related to AccuWeather were really surprising. Unchecked free market capitalism can be detrimental to ordinary taxpayers. Overall, the book suffers from an inconsistent flow. On occasions, I was lost as to what the exact message was. However, I found it to be a value for money considering the price.
