The Machine
This is the never-before told story of Booking's rise, zenith and moral decay
La máquina
La máquina es la historia fascinante y convulsa de Booking.com. Todo empezó en 1996, cuando un recién graduado de los Países Bajos fundó un sitio de reservas hoteleras en internet. En aquellos años estaba todo por hacer: internet era todavía muy desconocido y lento, y el comercio electrónico era casi inexistente. Hoy Booking.com aporta el 90% de la facturación de su empresa matriz americana, cotiza en la bolsa de Nueva York, y tiene un valor superior a importantes compañías tecnológicas como Netflix o Uber. Una empresa absolutamente desconocida —a pesar de ser líder mundial de su mercado y con miles de empleados en todo el mundo—, hasta que las ayudas que recibió del gobier...

Op zoek naar de verstrooide tijd
In Op zoek naar de verstrooide tijd onderzoekt Koen Haegens met humor en aan de hand van grote denkers de paradox tussen altijd te druk en en het weg scrollen van de uren in onze dag. Koen Haegens is al zijn hele leven gefascineerd door tijd. In zijn boek Op zoek naar de verstrooide tijd wordt hij door een ingrijpende gebeurtenis die hem bijna het leven kost geconfronteerd met een mysterie. Hoe kan het dat we van elk moment willen genieten maar ondertussen al swipend, scrollend en bingewatchend smijten met de uren, alsof ze niet op kunnen? Met verwondering en humor onderzoekt Haegens hoe we tijd vermorsen, ongemerkt door onze vingers laten glippen, maar ook hoe we kunnen leren de tijd te nem...
American Kingpin
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. The unbelievable true story of the man who built a billion-dollar online drug empire from his bedroom—and almost got away with it In 2011, a twenty-six-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine Web site hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything—drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons—free of the government’s watchful eye. It wasn’t long before the media got wind of the new Web site where anyone—not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers—could buy and sell contraband detection-free. Spurred by a public outc...
The Murder of Harriet Monckton
From the award-winning and bestselling author of Into the Darkest Corner comes a delicious Victorian crime novel based on a true story that shocked and fascinated the nation. On 7th November 1843, Harriet Monckton, 23 years old and a woman of respectable parentage and religious habits, is found murdered in the privy behind the chapel she regularly attended in Bromley, Kent. The community is appalled by her death, apparently as a result of swallowing a fatal dose of prussic acid, and even more so when the surgeon reports that Harriet was around six months pregnant. Drawing on the coroner's reports and witness testimonies, Elizabeth Haynes builds a compelling picture of Harriet's final hours through the eyes of those closest to her and the last people to see her alive. Her fellow teacher and companion, her would-be fiancé, her seducer, her former lover—all are suspects; each has a reason to want her dead. Brimming with lust, mistrust and guilt, The Murder of Harriet Monckton is a masterclass of suspense from one of our greatest crime writers.
