Yes: read "Flash Boys: Not So Fast", a very readable and very technical takedown of "Flash Boys", which is a terrible, incoherent book --- without a doubt Lewis' worst.
For a better version of "Flash Boys", read "Dark Pools"; Dark Pools also takes a gimlet look at high-speed trading, but also does a great job of documenting the birth of the NASDAQ ECNs and the transition from the early-90s centralized markets to modern, decentralized, electronic trading.
If you want to get into the technical detail, the best book is still Larry Harris' _Trading and Exchanges_; it is almost exactly the "TCP/IP Illustrated" of trading.
I don't believe you're going to persuade anyone here with appeals to your own authority; you are not the only person on the thread with experience with this subject.
I know less about market structure than any of the many commenters here that navigate it for a living, but I've had enough exposure to know that you haven't made a coherent argument yet. I'm sure you have one in you!
