Bestselling author Michael Lewis is back with a brand new audiobook, “Blockers: Rebels in the Deep State.” 

In early 2025, when the Department of Government Efficiency arrived in D.C., a “blocker” became the label for federal employees who were seen as standing in the way. As these civil servants were being ousted from their roles, Michael was inspired to tell their stories. This book raises the very human question at the heart of A Slight Change of Plans: Who are you when the thing you’ve given your life to decides it doesn’t want you anymore?
