It wasn’t long before the media got wind of the new Web site where anyone—not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers—could buy and sell contraband detection-free. Spurred by a public outcry, the federal government launched an epic two-year manhunt for the site’s elusive proprietor, with no leads, no witnesses, and no clear jurisdiction. All the investigators knew was that whoever was running the site called himself the Dread Pirate Roberts. The Silk Road quickly ballooned into $1.2 billion enterprise, and Ross embraced his new role as kingpin. He enlisted a loyal crew of allies in high and low places, all as addicted to the danger and thrill of running an illegal marketplace as their customers were to the heroin they sold. Through his network he got wind of the target on his back and took drastic steps to protect himself—including ordering a hit on a former employee. As Ross made plans to disappear forever, the Feds raced against the clock to catch a man they weren’t sure even existed, searching for a needle in the haystack of the global Internet. Drawing on exclusive access to key players and two billion digital words and images Ross left behind, Vanity Fair correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Nick Bilton offers a tale filled with twists and turns, lucky breaks and unbelievable close calls. It’s a story of the boy next door’s ambition gone criminal, spurred on by the clash between the new world of libertarian-leaning, anonymous, decentralized Web advocates and the old world of government control, order, and the rule of law. Filled with unforgettable characters and capped by an astonishing climax, American Kingpin might be dismissed as too outrageous for fiction. But it’s all too real.",2017,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzrd4fdy9d4mbrsvxebr5x8.jpg?v=99ed8675ad","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kwzrd4e712ka6yna63shx5me.png?v=21ae3f591f","LhI4hf_3-;IU?^?bx]M{S~xtRjRk","4.00",1,333,378,0,"complete",true,false,[17,17,17,17,17,17,17,14,17,17],[23],{"id":24,"slug":25,"name":26,"role":27,"bio":28},"01kns2hzyhvdmcr20exrvaxt6y","nick-bilton-cd5p","Nick Bilton","author","Nick Bilton is Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair, where he writes about politics, technology, business, and culture, and a contributor at CNBC.

Told in stark black-and-white panels, Backderf reconstructs their shared adolescence: Dahmer's binge drinking, his obsession with roadkill, his desperate need for attention, and the failure of every adult around him to see what was already forming beneath the surface.

Still, when detectives asked for victims to come forward, she sent a note. With her criminal case file reopened, she saw for the first time evidence that corroborated her memories. Here were depictions of the naïve, hardworking girl she'd been, a chorister and debater, the daughter of a priest; of the two senior athletes who assaulted her and were allowed to graduate with awards; and of the faculty, doctors, and priests who had known about Crawford's assault and gone to great lengths to bury it. Now a wife, mother, and writer living on the other side of the country, Crawford learned that police had uncovered astonishing proof of an institutional silencing years before, and that unnamed powers were still trying to block her case. The slander, innuendo, and lack of adult concern that Crawford had experienced as a student hadn't been the imagined effects of trauma, after all: these were the actions of a school that prized its reputation above anything, even a child. This revelation launched Crawford on an extraordinary inquiry into the ways gender, privilege, and power shaped her experience as a girl at the gates of America's elite. Her investigation looks beyond the sprawling playing fields and soaring chapel towers of crucibles of power like St. Paul's, whose reckoning is still to come. And it runs deep into the channels of shame and guilt, witness and silencing, that dictate who can speak and who is heard in American society.

Since it was first launched in 1994, Amazon has changed the world of literature. The “Everything Store” has not just transformed how we buy books; it has affected what we buy, and even what we read. In Everything and Less, acclaimed critic Mark McGurl explores this new world where writing is no longer categorized as high or lowbrow, literature or popular fiction. Charting a course spanning from Henry James to E. L. James, McGurl shows that contemporary writing has less to do with writing per se than with the manner of its distribution. This consumerist logic—if you like this, you might also like ...—has reorganized the fiction universe so that literary prize-winners sit alongside fantasy, romance, fan fiction, and the infinite list of hybrid genres and self-published works. This is an innovation to be cautiously celebrated. Amazon’s platform is not just a retail juggernaut but an aesthetic experiment driven by an unseen algorithm rivaling in the depths of its effects any major cultural shift in history. Here all fiction is genre fiction, and the niches range from the categories of crime and science fiction to the more refined interests of Adult Baby Diaper Lover erotica. Everything and Less is a hilarious and insightful map of both the commanding heights and sordid depths of fiction, past and present, that opens up an arresting conversation about why it is we read and write fiction in the first place.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2chdacn5zx8vfswd1bq5ba.jpg?v=80f1cb64a9","LWLM|[4Tmk?]RkbbWBkBt7RQaxof",2021,[405],{"id":406,"slug":407,"name":408},"01kx2chda7ms738se4sb7qjbxg","mark-mcgurl-mb1o","Mark McGurl",[410,414],{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":19},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":134,"complexity":7,"audience":136,"mood":417,"themes":419,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[227,418],"intellectual",[420,421],"dual-timeline","coming-of-age",{"id":423,"slug":424,"title":425,"description":426,"primary_cover_url":427,"cover_blurhash":428,"first_publish_year":237,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":238,"authors":429,"genres":434,"series":442,"enrichment":443},"01kx2gy0kxnnrswd7xwkdeph6j","nobodys-victim-cpci","Nobody's Victim","\"Riveting and an essential timely conversation-starter, Nobody's Victim invites readers to join Carrie on the front lines of the war against sexual violence and privacy violations as she fights for revenge porn and sextortion laws, uncovers major Title IX violations, and sues the hell out of tech companies, schools, and powerful sexual predators. Her battleground is the courtroom; her crusade is to transform clients from victims into warriors. In gripping detail, Carrie shares the diabolical ways her clients are attacked and how she, through her unique combination of advocacy, badass relentlessness, risk-taking, and client-empowerment, pursues justice for them all. There are stories about a woman whose ex-boyfriend made fake bomb threats in her name and caused a national panic; a fifteen-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted on school grounds and then suspended when she reported the attack; and a man whose ex-boyfriend used a dating app to send more than 1,200 men to ex's home and work for sex. With breathtaking honesty, Carrie also shares her own shattering story about why she began her work and the uphill battle of building a business. While her clients are a diverse group--from every gender, sexual orientation, age, class, race, religion, occupation, and background--the offenders are not. They are highly predictable. In this book, Carrie offers a taxonomy of the four types of offenders she encounters most often at her firm: assholes, psychos, pervs, and trolls\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2gy0mhhw8zs1w8py1y5aht.jpg?v=e6f107fe08","LEPq~xxa~q%2ELWVxar@OUayMdae",[430],{"id":431,"slug":432,"name":433},"01kx2gy0mb4d7tm5p7745k9ta6","carrie-goldberg-2kbr","Carrie Goldberg",[435,436,440,441],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":437,"name":438,"slug":439,"is_fiction":20},80,"Law","law",{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":20},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":133,"complexity":7,"audience":136,"mood":444,"themes":446,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[138,445],"inspiring",[],[448,589,662],{"key":449,"params":450,"works":451},"genre_year",{"genre":32,"year":9},[452,467,477,509,564],{"id":231,"slug":232,"title":233,"description":234,"primary_cover_url":235,"cover_blurhash":236,"first_publish_year":237,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":238,"authors":453,"genres":455,"series":462,"enrichment":464},[454],{"id":241,"slug":242,"name":243},[456,457,458,459,460,461],{"id":246,"name":247,"slug":248,"is_fiction":19},{"id":128,"name":250,"slug":251,"is_fiction":19},{"id":100,"name":253,"slug":254,"is_fiction":19},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":257,"name":258,"slug":259,"is_fiction":19},{"id":261,"name":262,"slug":263,"is_fiction":19},[463],{"id":266,"slug":267,"name":268,"position":269,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":133,"complexity":7,"audience":271,"mood":465,"themes":466,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[138,273],[],{"id":397,"slug":398,"title":399,"description":400,"primary_cover_url":401,"cover_blurhash":402,"first_publish_year":403,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":106,"authors":468,"genres":470,"series":473,"enrichment":474},[469],{"id":406,"slug":407,"name":408},[471,472],{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":19},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":134,"complexity":7,"audience":136,"mood":475,"themes":476,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[227,418],[420,421],{"id":478,"slug":479,"title":480,"description":481,"primary_cover_url":482,"cover_blurhash":483,"first_publish_year":155,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":484,"authors":485,"genres":494,"series":505,"enrichment":506},"01kq008gkxpybevgwt4rxf2bra","the-boy-billionaire-dlmw","The boy billionaire","This book compiles direct quotes from Mark Zuckerberg, offering insights into his perspectives on business, technology, social media, and life.

On a fateful day in February 2002, campaign manager Clara Rojas accompanied longtime friend and presidential hopeful Ingrid Betancourt into an area controlled by the powerful leftist guerrilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Armed with machine guns and grenades, the FARC took them hostage and kept them in the jungle for the next six years. After more than two years of captivity deep in the Colombian jungle, surrounded by jaguars, snakes, and tarantulas, miles from any town or hospital, Clara Rojas prepared to give birth in a muddy tent surrounded by heavily armed guerrillas. Her captors promised that a doctor would be brought to the camp to help her. But when Rojas went into labor and began to suffer complications, the only person on hand was a guerrilla wielding a kitchen knife. The guerrillas drugged Rojas with anesthetic while one of them slit open her abdomen. Her son, Emmanuel, was born by amateur cesarean section in April 2004. His survival was miraculous, but her joy was soon cut short when the FARC took him from her when he was only eight months old. For the next three years, Clara was given no information about him, but her desire to one day see him again kept her alive. In early 2008, Clara was finally liberated and reunited with her son—to whom this book is dedicated.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx261n3qvk971kpa1ts0fx2t.jpg?v=673ddaa912","LIFhg:baE3XO-ixYnRoe|@NIIsjI",2010,256,[698],{"id":699,"slug":700,"name":701},"01kx261n3k5t80xy0mzb61mdmq","clara-rojas-3jsp","Clara Rojas",[703,704,705],{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":172,"name":173,"slug":174,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":133,"complexity":7,"audience":136,"mood":708,"themes":710,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[138,187,709],"hopeful",[],{"id":325,"slug":326,"title":327,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":328,"cover_blurhash":329,"first_publish_year":237,"community_rating_avg":330,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":238,"authors":712,"genres":715,"series":718,"enrichment":719},[713,714],{"id":333,"slug":334,"name":335},{"id":337,"slug":338,"name":339},[716,717],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":134,"complexity":7,"audience":136,"mood":720,"themes":721,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[187,301],[],{"id":723,"slug":724,"title":725,"description":726,"primary_cover_url":727,"cover_blurhash":728,"first_publish_year":729,"community_rating_avg":330,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":730,"authors":731,"genres":736,"series":744,"enrichment":745},"01kx23jnsw322gpqmw2n0xsfmt","i-am-the-central-park-jogger-a-story-of-hope-and-possibility-vqw6","I Am the Central Park Jogger A Story of Hope and Possibility","A timeless, “triumphant” (Entertainment Weekly) story of healing and recovery from the victim of a crime that shocked the nation: the Central Park Jogger. As featured in When They See Us—the Netflix limited series created, written, and directed by Ava DuVernay that retells the story of the Central Park Five, the young men wrongly accused of this crime. Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Hours later she arrives at the emergency room—comatose—she has lost so much blood that her doctors believe it’s a miracle she's still alive. Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger. I Am the Central Park Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery. Called “Hero of the Month” by Glamour magazine, Meili tells us who she was before the attack—a young Wall Street professional with a promising future—and who she has become: a woman who learned how to read, write, walk, talk, and love again...and turn horrifying violence and certain death into extraordinary healing and victorious life. With “moments of unexpected grace and insights into life’s challenges….Meili’s story—the story the public never knew—is unforgettable” (The Buffalo News).","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23jntf5755fe2s0raaj2zw.jpg?v=02d0d32171","LVPP_hyCXlMd.TRksWo}tnVsVstR",2003,280,[732],{"id":733,"slug":734,"name":735},"01kx23jnt94mkg614b97mbk48t","trisha-meili-nggg","Trisha Meili",[737,738,739,740],{"id":385,"name":386,"slug":387,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":172,"name":173,"slug":174,"is_fiction":20},{"id":741,"name":742,"slug":743,"is_fiction":20},95,"Self-Help","self-help",[],{"pace":225,"complexity":7,"audience":136,"mood":746,"themes":747,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[445,394],[],{"id":749,"slug":750,"title":751,"description":752,"primary_cover_url":753,"cover_blurhash":754,"first_publish_year":755,"community_rating_avg":13,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":756,"authors":757,"genres":762,"series":765,"enrichment":766},"01kx2n78bcvrazg8b67cvvp5wb","the-man-in-the-monster-mnjf","The man in the monster","\"Michael Ross was a serial killer who raped and murdered eight young women between 1981 and 1984, and several years ago the state of Connecticut put him to death. His crimes were horrific, and he paid the ultimate price for them. When journalist Martha Elliott first heard of Ross, she learned what the world knew of him-- that he had been a master at hiding in plain sight. Elliott, a staunch critic of the death penalty, was drawn to the case when the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned Ross's six death sentences. Rather than fight for his life, Ross requested that he be executed because he didn't want the families of his victims to suffer through a new trial. Elliott was intrigued and sought an interview. The two began a weekly conversation--that developed into an odd form of friendship--that lasted over a decade, until Ross's last moments on earth. Over the course of his twenty years in prison, Ross had come to embrace faith for the first time in his life. He had also undergone extensive medical treatment. The Michael Ross whom Elliott knew seemed to be a different man from the monster who was capable of such heinous crimes. This Michael Ross made it his mission to share his story with Elliott in the hopes that it would save lives. He was her partner in unlocking the mystery of his own evil\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2n78c63p4c78mx4jzhcyze.jpg?v=b4f7515b50","L3Ac@,02~qD%^*N#xv9aIStTNHIV",2015,330,[758],{"id":759,"slug":760,"name":761},"01kx2n78bvegm8ryddz2adnsyt","martha-elliott-uzxs","Martha Elliott",[763,764],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":134,"complexity":7,"audience":136,"mood":767,"themes":768,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[187,138],[],{"id":770,"slug":771,"title":772,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":773,"cover_blurhash":774,"first_publish_year":775,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":7,"authors":776,"genres":781,"series":791,"enrichment":792},"01kqjzbkhfggf6ergddw4qrb37","final-harvest-an-amer-tragedy-tu2m","Final Harvest An Amer Tragedy","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqjzbkkb6sxwbngf33c1f83n.jpg","L[Iz-Moeofoe~UkBofj[%1j[a|j[",1990,[777],{"id":778,"slug":779,"name":780},"01kq7ja2frkj0564nn32t6wnft","andrew-h-malcolm-folw","Andrew H.
