True crime; Organised crime; Computer security

When law and order collapse into algorithms, a new breed of kingpins rises from the shadows.

The Rise of the Dark Web Overlords is a chilling, explosive journey into the underground empires reshaping global crime. From the ashes of the old mafia to the birth of cyber cartels, this is the untold story of how Behrouz Parsarat's Nemesis and the enigmatic Pharaoh of Incognito turned the internet's darkest corners into billion-dollar kingdoms.

Through encrypted corridors and anonymous marketplaces, we uncover a world powered by Monero, masked by TOR, and governed by code. Markets deal in death, drugs, and data-while governments scramble to catch shadows. As undercover agents chase ghosts and global syndicates evolve into decentralized autonomous networks, one truth becomes clear: crime has gone digital-and it will never look back.

Combining real-world investigations, geopolitical intrigue, and gripping narrative, this book is more than a history of the dark web. It's a front-row seat to the silent cyberwar that defines our age. Read it to understand not just who rules the dark web-but why they may never be dethroned.

Prepare for a descent into the digital abyss. What you find there will change how you see the world above.

Borna Ahadi delivers a masterwork of investigative storytelling, where every click leads deeper into the code of power, secrecy, and revolution.

The Rise of the Dark Web Overlords: The True Story of Nemesis and Incognito

Step into the shadowy underworld of the internet where billion-dollar empires are built in silence, and chaos is coded into every transaction. This gripping exposé unravels the meteoric rise-and eventual downfall-of two legendary cybercrime syndicates: Nemesis and Incognito.

In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed author Borna Ahadi explores the real-life digital mafias operating beyond the reach of law enforcement. Meet Behrouz Parsarat, the architect of Nemesis Market, whose alliances with geopolitical powers reshaped online crime. Follow the elusive Pharaoh, mastermind behind the Incognito marketplace, whose double life and ultimate betrayal stunned even the most seasoned agents.

From the fall of Silk Road to the Russian Hydra cartel, from cryptocurrency laundering to FBI undercover stings, this book delivers unprecedented insight into how crime has migrated from alleys to algorithms. Packed with real-world events, insider interviews, and cutting-edge cyber tactics, this is the definitive story of how the internet became the battleground for modern power.

I'm Borna Ahadi, a writer drawn to the hidden stories behind the headlines and the forgotten voices of history. My passion lies in exploring the complexity of human character-whether in the corridors of power, on the battlefield, or in the quiet moments that shape destiny. I write to uncover truth, provoke thought, and connect the past to our present in a way that feels alive and urgent. Every book I create is a journey-not just through time, but into the heart of what it means to lead, to fail, and to rise again. If you're someone who questions, reflects, and craves deeper understanding, you're exactly who I write for.
