THIS BOOK. The most riveting non fiction book i’ve read. Couldn’t put it down. All the action culminates magically with such accurate and minute details you feel like you’re all caught up in the middle of it. You killed it Nick Bilton.

wow this one hooks you in and doesn’t let go! I went in knowing nothing abt the Silk Road and at all and ofc I’m not an FBI/DHS/NYPD fan at all but god so so interesting.
it’s an incredible story, though the development of this massive network from scratch w zero formal coding skills to me verges on unbelievable, but hey life is full of strange and bizarre stuff. there is so so much hard data, chat transcripts etc that the book does feel well researched, evenly weighed and complete. Definitely recommend

Almost perfect except at the end there is a comment about how overdoses / deaths due to opioids follow the profits curve of the Silk Road…. The opioid epidemic is complicated and wrapped with unregulated prescriptions, not just the Silk Road. I was disappointed by that association
