Publisher's Summary
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.

This is not an audible exclusive
This “exclusive” is just an excerpt from the authors other book The Fifth Risk
I don’t understand why that isn’t made clear in the summary

Great Story well told.
I loved this although it was US centric. I should have expected that so fault is entirely mine.

M Lewis does it again
Michael Lewis makes seemingly dull subjects interesting, yet again. Very much worth a listen as it provides good fodder for rumination.

This is the fifth risk
So I’m not really sure what went on here but this book is the Fifth Risk. Not really sure how it’s an Amazon “original”.
