Praise for
Silk Road
‘Ormsby’s investigative journalism shines as she provides a very
thorough account of Ulbricht’s rise and fall.’
Penthouse Magazine
‘Through her clear rendering of the facts, Ormsby makes the
intricacies of the technology involved accessible to even the most
technophobic of readers. The tone is conversational and friendly
while the content is intriguing and increasingly dark. In her quest to
uncover the mystery behind the enigmatic DPR she uncovers a story
of subterfuge, replete with conspiracy theories and hidden identities,
that is rich with anecdotes.’
Newtown Review of Books
‘The book is a fascinating expose of this particular aspect of the “dark
web” of internet dealings and its subsequent unravelling.’
Sydney
Morning Herald
‘Ormsby is a great writer, giving us gripping accounts from the people
who actually used “Silk Road” to paint an accurate picture of how the
website was created, run, and ultimately fell . . .
Silk Road
is easily one
of the best books I’ve read this year.’
The Library NZ
‘Silk
Road
is one of the more readable and gripping true crime books
of recent times. It is not just Ormsby’s knowledge of the brief but spec-
tacular rise and fall of Silk Road that makes for compelling reading,
but also the ordering of the material so that the reader has the sense of
being educated in the technical and legal background to an astonishing
criminal enterprise.’
The Australian
‘For the most complete account of the original Silk Road, which was
closed down by the FBI in late 2013, Eileen Ormsby’s book
Silk Road
is the best place to start. It’s full of original research, interviews and
insight. This is best read along with her excellent blog, AllThingsVice,
which covers several aspects of the dark net, but especially the dark
net markets.’ Jamie Bartlett, author of
Darknet and Radicals
‘A great strength of the meticulously researched
Silk Road
is the manner
in which Ormsby gently takes the reader by the hand, unpacking the
technology underpinning this ‘dark net’ market.’
Australian Police Journal
Eileen Ormsby is a lawyer, author and freelance journalist based in
Melbourne. Her first book,
Silk Road
was the world’s first in-depth
expose of the black markets that operate on the dark web. Her
gonzo-style investigations have led her deep into the secretive corners
of the dark web where drugs and weapons dealers, hackers, hitmen
and worse ply their trade. Many of these dark web interactions turned
into real-world relationships, entanglements, hack attempts on her
computer and even death threats from the dark web’s most successful
hitman network as she researched
Darkest Web.
She now lives a quiet
life off-grid as much as possible.
