The Mastermind by Evan Ratliff is a thrilling true crime book that tells the story of Paul Le Roux, a mysterious figure who built a criminal empire from the comfort of his own home. The book is well-written, well-researched, and provides a unique insight into the mind of a criminal. It's a must-read for fans of true crime and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and crime.
If you're interested in learning about the rise and fall of Theranos, a company that claimed to have developed a revolutionary blood testing device, then "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou is a must-read. Not only does it provide a detailed account of the company's fraudulent activities, but it also delves into the dangerous and reckless behavior of its founder, Elizabeth Holmes. Ultimately, "Bad Blood" is a compelling read because it shows how one person's lies and manipulation can have far-reaching consequences, affecting not only the company's employees and investors, but also the millions of people who were counting on Theranos to revolutionize healthcare.
