About the book
In 2011 Ross Ulbricht, a 26-year-old libertarian programmer, opened the Silk Road, a hidden Dark Web market where people traded drugs, forged passports, hacking tools, counterfeit money and poisons beyond the government's reach. Calling himself the Dread Pirate Roberts, he saw the site grow into a $1.2 billion business and gathered a loyal crew around him. After a public outcry, federal investigators began a two-year search with no witnesses, no leads and no clear jurisdiction. Vanity Fair correspondent Nick Bilton follows both sides of the chase, including Ulbricht's order for a hit on a former employee. He built the account on exclusive access to key players and on two billion digital words and images Ulbricht left behind.
Casey Neistat said its chapter endings kept pulling him into the next one and that he finished it in four days.

It is unbelievably riveting. It does that thing where at the end of every chapter it leaves you just enough we're like "aah!" and you have to read the first paragraph of the next chapter and then before you know it is a downward spiral and you end up finishing this book. Took me four days to get through this.
