Synopsis

Finding Satoshi

At the center of Bitcoin lies the greatest unsolved mystery of the digital age. Who created it, and who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Finding Satoshi presents the conclusion reached after a four-year, evidence-based investigation, drawing on original reporting and rare access to key figures in crypto to uncover the human ideas, motivations, and philosophy behind the code that reshaped global finance.

My Octopus Teacher

After years of swimming every day in the freezing ocean at the tip of Africa, Craig Foster meets an unlikely teacher: a young octopus who displays remarkable curiosity. Visiting her den and tracking her movements for months on end he eventually wins the animal’s trust and they develop a never-before-seen bond between human and wild animal.
