About this listen

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.

Brilliantly researched and written, points well made with the ebb and flow of great writing. The narrator is a perfect choice, entertaining and full of character... the different characters certainly added entertainment value! one of my faves.

Didn't want it to finish!

starts off with a good history of tech progress from arpranet, bbs, Internet, www, pgp, bitcoin etc. then delves into some hard topic matter which is a bit disturbing.

Hard going

Some if the content was about surface net stuff. I actually wanted more info on the dark net. Nicely read and nicely written.

Believe me, this is well worth a listen.

The commentary I found was gripping and I was captivated from start to finish. Each chapter was well thought about and researched, and if you want to know whats under the hood of your internet connection, this is a good starting point.

To clear up the other review comments, the missing chapter cited by some readers is included, and as the content is from 2014 it perhaps means we have a new version. The comments about the impersonations is also invalid, and none sound like Yorkshire folk. I found the narrators impersonations ok, and it did not detract from the content at all, so I am guessing what I downloaded is completely different. In general its one of the best read books I have ever downloaded.

The content is entry level and for me opened up the box, but I hope there is perhaps a second book to look forward to. Even so, what is revealed is quite frankly shocking and people need to be aware of what is going on underneath the surface web in the encrypted world and how easy it all is. This book, gives you insights into a whole new world we new nothing about.

Its certainly very thought provoking and an interesting listen.

A Grave New World !

Well informed, broad and in detailed book. A great recommended read/listen with a reputable author.

Excellent

An interesting listen with a good narrator but explores the dark side of the dark net in more detail (some rather disturbing detail at times) than I imagined it would.

Darker than I expected

Enjoyed the book. Found the accents off putting, but there's a good amount of history in here I wasn't aware of.

Really interesting

Imitation of national vocabularies detracts from the book! Best takeaway is that by the time the book wash published it is out dated by progress on the internet.

Interesting Book but narration compromised
