"Beyond the familiar online world -- 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. Jamie Bartlett takes us deep into the digital underworld of the internet. 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. An eye-opening look at a world that doesn't want to be known"--Provided by publisher.
