Critically acclaimed journalist and Vanity Fair Special Correspondent Nick Bilton has been exposing the inner-workings of the technology sector for years—from breaking stories for The New York Times, to unearthing the betrayal behind Twitter's creation story in his book "Hatching Twitter," and beyond. He joins David-Michel Davies to discuss his latest work which traces the manhunt for Silk Road's founder ("American Kingpin"), how he reports on Silicon Valley, and more.

For more from Nick, grab a copy of "American Kingpin" and "Hatching Twitter." They are both impressive works of journalism that take readers through two true stories of Silicon Valley and its complexities. Follow Nick on social media at @nickbilton
