Hey, Sorkin, I just went through the comments. The one question keeps coming up over again.

Chumath, you're going to love these characters.
I kid you not. I kid you not. The people who are involved in this at that time, like the main character.
I totally agree with you. I am a huge, to be honest, I've studied this period for a while, actually. I think it's great that you wrote this book. I think it's incredibly fascinating.
We're here with Andrew Ross Sorkin, Chamath and I with another all-in interview. Riveting. Today, we're going to talk about Andrew's new book, 1929, and specifically cover why Andrew got into it, what the history teaches us, and are we looking at another 1929 or something different this day and age, as a lot of people may speculate. But Andrew, thanks for joining Chamath and I to talk about this.
Thank you for having me. And I love your background there. a true image of what was actually happening in October of 1929, crazily enough.
That's right. And it was colorized by some AI or something, I think. But yeah, great. How and why did you get into this era of 1929, the great stock market crash of 1929? Like you're a busy guy. You're on TV every day. We see you all over your conferences. I saw you at a conference in Southern California this week, then you're at another conference and you're back in New York. You're very busy.
At what point did you say, Hey, I want to sit down and write a book about this era?
