American Kingpin by Nick Bilton

This book was very well-written. It is the story of the Silk Road founder; technology in the hands of an amoral young man who begins the perfect crime and of course makes mistakes and is caught. Using encryption, Tor, and bitcoin he makes a website where anything can be bought and sold anonymously. The protagonist is thoroughly unlikeable, his capture is inevitable, so the only compelling thing about the book is the good writing. I look forward to books by this author about people worth his talent.
