Beyond the familiar online world that most of us inhabit—a
world of Google, Facebook, and Twitter—lies a vast and often
hidden network of sites, communities, and cultures where
freedom is pushed to its limits, and where people can be
anyone, or do anything, they want. This is the world of
Bitcoin and Silk Road, of radicalism and pornography. This
is the Dark Net.
In this important and revealing
book, Jamie Bartlett takes us deep into the digital
underworld and presents an extraordinary look at the
internet we don't know. Beginning with the rise of the
internet and the conflicts and battles that defined its
early years, Bartlett reports on trolls, pornographers, drug
dealers, hackers, political extremists, Bitcoin programmers,
and vigilantes—and puts a human face on those who have
many reasons to stay anonymous.
Rich with historical
research and revelatory reporting, The Dark
Net is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at a
world that doesn't want to be known.
