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.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzrd4fdy9d4mbrsvxebr5x8.jpg?v=99ed8675ad","LhI4hf_3-;IU?^?bx]M{S~xtRjRk",2017,"4.00",1,333,[155],{"id":156,"slug":157,"name":158},"01kns2hzyhvdmcr20exrvaxt6y","nick-bilton-cd5p","Nick Bilton",[160,164],{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":19},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":137,"complexity":7,"audience":83,"mood":167,"themes":169,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[140,168],"gritty",[],{"id":171,"slug":172,"title":173,"description":174,"primary_cover_url":175,"cover_blurhash":176,"first_publish_year":177,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":178,"authors":179,"genres":184,"series":194,"enrichment":195},"01kx26952bk5x9fp4vex1kkbwr","buy-the-avocado-toast-how-to-crush-student-debt-make-more-money-and-live-your-best-life-ucjp","Buy the Avocado Toast How to Crush Student Debt, Make More Money, and Live Your Best Life","What if the solution to student debt was reinvesting in yourself? Are you a smart, hard-working person who always seems to struggle financially? Do you ever second-guess decisions to pursue higher education because of your student loans? Has extreme budgeting eliminated joy and comfort from life, yet you're still several years away from being debt-free? Conventional wisdom tells us the formula for success is simple: go to school, get a job, work hard, repeat as needed until you retire. It tells us that debt is the result of poor choices and irresponsible spending. Unfortunately, such advice fails to take into account the recent (and not-so-recent) graduates for whom predatory student lending rates have set them back tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars before they even enter the job market. In Buy the Avocado Toast, Stephanie Bousley shares lessons learned through years of working hard and perpetually undervaluing herself while coming to terms with owing almost $300,000 in student debt. Through a holistic approach to both net worth and self-worth, Bousley offers readers hope for their own financial situations by providing step-by-step instructions on reducing debt, living better, and rooting out the self-defeating beliefs that keep us broke.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26952w1yy99phtzhvpxvz4.jpg?v=f71c163cea","L6NKm4~R_9-$IyxFRpRk-|ae91j[",2020,240,[180],{"id":181,"slug":182,"name":183},"01kx26952p3ymzkz8fsb37j1ry","stephanie-bousley-9xed","Stephanie Bousley",[185,189,193],{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":19},95,"Self-Help","self-help",{"id":190,"name":191,"slug":192,"is_fiction":19},100,"Finance","finance",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":83,"mood":196,"themes":199,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[197,198],"inspiring","hopeful",[],{"id":201,"slug":202,"title":203,"description":204,"primary_cover_url":205,"cover_blurhash":206,"first_publish_year":207,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":208,"authors":209,"genres":222,"series":228,"enrichment":229},"01kragnw28bsxama7b0g4c97yv","intelligent-systems-for-information-processing-lrym","Intelligent Systems for Information Processing","This academic volume presents a collection of research on intelligent systems and their role in processing information.

You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget. 1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24ty6chtk2grbfg6kgrsxs.jpg?v=767733e173","LMJ5fvxa;mxGUbrr$RR*~qS#S1X8",506,[243],{"id":244,"slug":245,"name":246},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[248,249,253,254,258],{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":19},{"id":250,"name":251,"slug":252,"is_fiction":19},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":255,"name":256,"slug":257,"is_fiction":19},70,"History","history",{"id":259,"name":260,"slug":261,"is_fiction":19},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":83,"mood":264,"themes":266,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[140,265,86],"dark",[267],"mystery-box",{"id":269,"slug":270,"title":271,"description":272,"primary_cover_url":273,"cover_blurhash":274,"first_publish_year":275,"community_rating_avg":276,"community_rating_count":152,"page_count":7,"authors":277,"genres":282,"series":284,"enrichment":285},"01kx2c2tvm1semcxk7eb192pss","preparing-for-the-praxis-exam-x7sa","Preparing for the PRAXIS Exam","This is a guide to prepare preservice teachers to successfully take the Praxis II exam.

Going to Parties in Tehran. Watching the Marx Brothers in Tehran. ReadingLolitain Tehran.” I wrote about repressive laws and executions, about public and political abominations. Eventually I drifted into writing about private betrayals, implicating myself and those close to me in ways I had never imagined. --FromThings I Have Been Silent About Azar Nafisi, author of the beloved international bestsellerReading Lolita in Tehran, now gives us a stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, memories of her life lived in thrall to a powerful and complex mother, against the background of a country’s political revolution. A girl’s pain over family secrets; a young woman’s discovery of the power of sensuality in literature; the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by political upheaval–these and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir, as a gifted storyteller once again transforms the way we see the world and “reminds us of why we read in the first place” (Newsday). Nafisi’s intelligent and complicated mother, disappointed in her dreams of leading an important and romantic life, created mesmerizing fictions about herself, her family, and her past. But her daughter soon learned that these narratives of triumph hid as much as they revealed. Nafisi’s father escaped into narratives of another kind, enchanting his children with the classic tales like the Shahnamah, the Persian Book of Kings. When her father started seeing other women, young Azar began to keep his secrets from her mother. Nafisi’s complicity in these childhood dramas ultimately led her to resist remaining silent about other personal, as well as political, cultural, and social, injustices. Reaching back in time to reflect on other generations in the Nafisi family,Things I’ve Been Silent Aboutis also a powerful historical portrait of a family that spans many periods of change leading up to the Islamic Revolution of 1978-79, which turned Azar Nafisi’s beloved Iran into a religious dictatorship. Writing of her mother’s historic term in Parliament, even while her father, once mayor of Tehran, was in jail, Nafisi explores the remarkable “coffee hours” her mother presided over, where at first women came together to gossip, to tell fortunes, and to give silent acknowledgment of things never spoken about, and which then evolved into gatherings where men and women would meet to openly discuss the unfolding revolution. Things I’ve Been Silent Aboutis, finally, a deeply personal reflection on women’s choices, and on how Azar Nafisi found the inspiration for a different kind of life. This unforgettable portrait of a woman, a family, and a troubled homeland is a stunning book that readers will embrace, a new triumph from an author who is a modern master of the memoir.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25x5bn1k9fxsbnce4a8acr.jpg?v=5b58a6e597","LuNmc-s;t7t7~qbHWBjaI9f6ofWV",2008,352,[393],{"id":394,"slug":395,"name":396},"01kjtmqk5cxq3h0pf50v43vqd0","azar-nafisi-5wth","Azar Nafisi",[398,402,403,407,408],{"id":399,"name":400,"slug":401,"is_fiction":19},89,"Memoir","memoir",{"id":250,"name":251,"slug":252,"is_fiction":19},{"id":404,"name":405,"slug":406,"is_fiction":19},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":259,"name":260,"slug":261,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":230,"complexity":7,"audience":83,"mood":411,"themes":414,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[412,413],"reflective","emotional",[],[416,429,445],{"key":417,"params":418,"works":419},"genre_year",{"genre":33,"year":9},[420],{"id":269,"slug":270,"title":271,"description":272,"primary_cover_url":273,"cover_blurhash":274,"first_publish_year":275,"community_rating_avg":276,"community_rating_count":152,"page_count":7,"authors":421,"genres":423,"series":425,"enrichment":426},[422],{"id":279,"slug":280,"name":281},[424],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":83,"mood":427,"themes":428,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[85,287],[],{"key":430,"params":431,"works":432},"genre_mood",{"genre":37,"mood":85},[433],{"id":201,"slug":202,"title":203,"description":204,"primary_cover_url":205,"cover_blurhash":206,"first_publish_year":207,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":208,"authors":434,"genres":438,"series":441,"enrichment":442},[435,436,437],{"id":211,"slug":212,"name":213},{"id":215,"slug":216,"name":217},{"id":219,"slug":220,"name":221},[439,440],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":225,"name":226,"slug":227,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":230,"complexity":7,"audience":7,"mood":443,"themes":444,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[232,85],[],{"key":446,"params":447,"works":448},"genre",{"genre":37},[449,459,481],{"id":144,"slug":145,"title":146,"description":147,"primary_cover_url":148,"cover_blurhash":149,"first_publish_year":150,"community_rating_avg":151,"community_rating_count":152,"page_count":153,"authors":450,"genres":452,"series":455,"enrichment":456},[451],{"id":156,"slug":157,"name":158},[453,454],{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":137,"complexity":7,"audience":83,"mood":457,"themes":458,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[140,168],[],{"id":460,"slug":461,"title":462,"description":463,"primary_cover_url":464,"cover_blurhash":465,"first_publish_year":466,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":467,"authors":468,"genres":473,"series":476,"enrichment":477},"01kx2chd9xvejdvsq0z44awtm3","everything-and-less-9m3s","Everything and Less","National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Best Book of Fall (Esquire) and a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 (Lit Hub) What Has Happened to Fiction in the Age of Platform Capitalism? 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",2021,337,[469],{"id":470,"slug":471,"name":472},"01kx2chda7ms738se4sb7qjbxg","mark-mcgurl-mb1o","Mark McGurl",[474,475],{"id":336,"name":337,"slug":338,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":83,"mood":478,"themes":479,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[86,232],[480,345],"dual-timeline",{"id":95,"slug":96,"title":97,"description":98,"primary_cover_url":99,"cover_blurhash":100,"first_publish_year":101,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":102,"authors":482,"genres":484,"series":491,"enrichment":493},[483],{"id":105,"slug":106,"name":107},[485,486,487,488,489,490],{"id":110,"name":111,"slug":112,"is_fiction":18},{"id":114,"name":115,"slug":116,"is_fiction":18},{"id":118,"name":119,"slug":120,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":18},{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":18},[492],{"id":132,"slug":133,"name":134,"position":135,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":137,"complexity":7,"audience":138,"mood":494,"themes":495,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[140,141],[],[]]
