Not bad. It was definitely an interesting read, though I think the tile is a bit misleading. The book starts out discussing TOR networks etc and everything you could call the "dark net" but then shifts to a history of the internet, forums and Usenets (which are not really part of that). I am glad it did not turn out to be a fear-mongering book as it initially started out to be.

So, if you are interested in "the internet" and what's out there (as of 2014), it's fairly informative and has a great number of interesting interviews and stories to read. But for anyone that uses the internet beyond Facebook and email, you won't find anything super groundbreaking or new to be learned, but rather a nice amount of detail an context to your existing knowledge.
