As a counterpoint, the fact that the NSA was monitoring electronic communication wasn't "news" either.
Shifts in opinion and popular consciousness is often times a matter of momentum & critical mass. This book will probably do more to stimulate popular interest in this issue than just about anything that's come before it.
As a side note, I'm currently reading Flash Boys and have previously read Dark Pools. So far, I would definitely consider the Lewis book to be the better of the two.
