'A riveting page-turner about the world of technology and dealmaking' - Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

A gripping and entertaining memoir that shines a rare light on the people that are reshaping our world.

Veteran Morgan Stanley banker Alok Sama thought he'd seen it all. Then he found himself chief dealmaker at the most influential technology investor in the world: SoftBank, backer of Arm Holdings, Yahoo, Nvidia, TikTok, Uber, T-Mobile, Alibaba and WeWork.

The Money Trap is Sama's thrilling, stranger-than-fiction personal odyssey detailing his experiences alongside SoftBank's iconic founder Masayoshi Son - a visionary maverick who wants to be remembered as 'the crazy guy who bet on the future' and whose mission is 'happiness for everyone'. Sama takes the reader on a wild ride as he consorts with billionaire CEOs and heads of state, negotiates mega-deals across the world and contends with a mysterious dark-arts smear campaign that takes a toll on his private life.

This fascinating and humorous saga provides a unique insider perspective on an industry that is disrupting our daily lives. Written with self-deprecating wit, unflinching honesty and searing introspection, The Money Trap is ultimately a morality tale: in life, as in technology investing, more money isn't always the answer.

'Sama's witty, incisive and introspective writing is a genuine pleasure to read. This simultaneously funny and eye-opening memoir from a globe-trotting protagonist is a rare window onto a world most only hear about' - Bradley Hope, bestselling co-author of Billion Dollar Whale
