The Money Trap: Lost Illusions Inside the Tech Bubble

About the book

Alok Sama recounts his years as a senior dealmaker at SoftBank, working alongside Masayoshi Son as enormous investments reshaped the technology industry. His memoir moves between negotiations with powerful executives, encounters with political leaders, and the personal strain of an anonymous smear campaign. Through these experiences, Sama examines the attractions of money and status, the risks of ambitious financial bets, and their cost to a life outside work.
