I’ve known Jamie Bartlett for years and have always admired his perspective on technology and society, so when I heard about the brilliant Missing Cryptoqueen podcast series on the BBC, I couldn't wait to listen to it. It was utterly unlike any other podcast I’d heard before, and I’m not afraid to say it made me cry and laugh (shivering in terror at one point).

The book follows the story in even more gripping detail and tells the story of one of the biggest frauds in history.
