Blood Algorithms

This book is an investigative look into the secretive world of hedge funds that use "blood algorithms"—complex predictive models that analyze global events to forecast mortality rates. The author, posing as a quantitative strategist, reveals how Wall Street turns human tragedy and grief into a financial instrument, profiting from data that predicts everything from the impact of pandemics to the outcome of wars. It's a journey into a quiet, predatory corner of the financial world where death is just another data point to be monetized.
