Nineteen-year-old Phaelan Lundgren, creator of the Dark Net website, Panacea, is en route from Oregon to Boston to continue her work on distributed systems at MIT when she meets up with her deceased mother's past. Is it possible that the drawing she holds of her mother's twenty-first and final sculpture in her "Crypto Chaos" series is the key to that past and to Phaelan's future? And if so, will she find the sculpture before the ghosts find her? ******* This book was written in the wake of the Silk Road Trial and during the 2016 presidential election campaign. Both of these events have been enough to make any sane person's stomach turn. However, I have been inspired by those who, like the characters in this book, live life on their own terms, without seeking permission to do what is right, regardless of whether it is legal. This is not a book for anyone who ever mouths the "I was just doing my job" or "That's just the way it is." I have no interest in appealing to them as they are not of the living. It is a book for anyone who believes in the innate freedom one has by definition of being Human. It is for anyone who refuses to be a victim, but instead integrates the darkness of their past, wielding it, by sheer force of their will, so that it becomes a light for their future.

Review in Altcoin/Bitcoin-terms:
A coin with a lot of potential. It (the series) either will become a gem or a shitcoin, depending on the Dev, if she'll be able to design the coin (fabricated story) so that people can consider it as a longterm-hodl (making the story less 'wrought' - imo you feel and see 'the shaping of the story')
Besides that I also got slightly irritated by the sentimental value that's attributed to this magic internet money (all the hugging and crying became quite intolerable at a certain point... or is it my 'stoic European nature' ?)
Nonetheless it is an intriguing 'cryptocurrency' that hopefully will evolve in a killer-coin.
