The Mysterious Mr. Nakamoto: A Fifteen-Year Quest to Unmask the Secret Genius Behind Crypto
Mr Wallace...deftly creates drama ... The author uses public records ingeniously ... The book proceeds like a convoluted murder mystery, introducing one suspect after another in what seems like an open-and-shut case, before puncturing the promising narrative with an inconvenient fact.

Anyone who has followed this story over the years will find this account to be, more or less, a survey of the usual suspects, if an entertaining one ... Nearly 200 pages in, [Wallace] is still spinning his wheels: 'I was making little headway in my own investigation and beginning to despair.' (A reader could be forgiven for feeling similarly) ... Most disappointing, perhaps, is that Wallace doesn’t meaningfully delve into some of the more left-field prospects to gain prominence over the years ... If Wallace doesn’t close the case, he is an engaging narrator, and his book serves as a useful introduction to one of the century’s true riddles.

An enjoyable romp through the tech sector ... Wallace carefully examines the popular candidates ... Wallace has a good time chasing all this around and meeting a host of eccentric characters.
