    About this audiobook

    The Dark Net is not a separate realm, but one that stretches from popular social media sites to the most secretive corners of the deep web. It is a world that is rarely out of the news but one that is little understood - and almost never explored. In The Dark Net, Jamie Bartlett presents a revelatory portrait of the internet's strangest subcultures: of trolls, drug dealers, hackers and political extremists. Based on extensive first-hand experience and exclusive interviews The Dark Net offers a startling glimpse of human nature under the conditions of freedom and anonymity.

      Fast and engrossing read. I'm too pessimistic to be a transhumanist, but like technology too much to be an anarcho-primitivist. Also don't have much faith in the libertarian vision that everything will work out great if only "we" have maximum freedoms. These and other issues are explored by talking directly to their proponents.The first chapter should be read by forum moderators to understand the psychologies at work with trolling.

      The internet can be a wonderful thing, Full of facts, fun and cats. But all that glitters is not necessarily gold, and this is so very true with the internet. Bartlett has decided to scratch the surface of the mirror ball and see what lurks beneath.

      And it isn't nice.

      As he wades through the nastiest parts of the internet, he writes about trolls, the availability of illegal drugs from Silk Road, legal and illegal pornography and the use of TOR for anonymity. He meets extremists, attends a cam show and speaks to those that use sites to advance their eating disorders and that encourage suicide.

      Grim stuff indeed. With the revelations on just how much the security service monitor or internet us, as revealed by Snowden he also looks at the ways that people are using PGP to ensure privacy from the modern Big Brother. It does have som implications, but the point he makes is that they should be tracking the genuine threats to our society, not just hoovering up every single thing.

      Fairly well written, and could be read by someone who isn't that technical, it is a fascinating peek behind the gloss and glam of most peoples experience of the internet.

      I don't know that I can do a review of this book that will do it justice, so, instead, I'll simply state two things it did for me.

      The first is, it truly scared the living shit out of me with the chapters on some of the incredibly broken humans behind some of the sites.

      The second is, it now has me reevaluating how much I want to be online. Right now, the answer is, very, very little.

      This is a book that's going to stay with me for some time.

      Read it. Read it and have your eyes opened to what's out there.
