dontcallmewoody 's review for:

The Dark Net: Inside the Digital Underworld by Jamie Bartlett

3.0

---

I was hoping to read about more things I didn't already know about. This book isn't for people who already know about Tor, 4chan, etc. I guess I was looking for more of a deeper exploration of the Deep Web rather than an overview of some of the seedier places on the internet that are mostly available on the surface web. So the information in this book is certainly interesting, but if you're already a fairly advanced internet user, there may not be anything new for you in here. Which is a shame, because the audience that would be attracted to a book like this is probably people who are already pretty advanced internet citizens.
